ICAO delays jet shooting investigation By Robert Russo MONTREAL (CP> — Ostracized by his own party and tired of waging a lonely.Quixotic fight against the Meech Lake accord.MP Donald Johnston said Monday he was quitting politics.Johnston, 52.said he will stay on as an MP until the next election, which he said he expects in October.The 10-year veteran of federal politics said he was forced to give up his struggle against the Meech Lake Accord after the House of Commons voted in favor of the constitutional deal almost two weeks ago.“I’ve been fighting against Meech Lake now for over a year,” Johnston told reporters after informing his riding executive.“Basically I can’t think of what else I can do as an individual.” Johnston said he had considered running in the next election as an “independent Liberal,” but rejec- leU me notion as unfair to his constituents and the Liberal party.Johnston had been sitting as an independent Liberal in the Commons since January, when Liberal Leader John Turner kicked him out of the party's front benches because of his criticism of Meech Lake.The deal gave expanded powers to the provincial governments, who in turn agreed to accede to Quebec’s demand to recognize the province as a distinct society.The only provinces which have not ratified the accord in their legislatures are Manitoba, Newfoundland and New Brunswick.Turner, who was on holiday and unavailable for comment, and most of the Liberal party support the deal because it brings Quebec into the constitutional fold.But Johnston, a bilingual anglophone from Montreal who is considered a member of the party’s old guard, has fought against the ac- cord since it was struck in April 1987.He says the deal will isolate Quebec's anglophone community and lead to English-speaking ghettos in Montreal.“Due to a fundamental policy difference with the leader of the party.I don't think it's appropriate that I stand as a Liberal candidate in St-Henri-Westmount,” said.He said he had not discussed his decision to step down with Turner and he denied a report that Turner had refused to sign his nomination papers.Johnston quit his post as external affairs critic in the Liberal shadow cabinet last year to criticize Meech Lake and was eventually moved to the backbenches.He made vain attempts to bridge the gap between his position and that of Turner's, but he was rebuffed last month when they rejected a set of amendments he had proposed to Meech Lake.“I was upset, to say the least, uuu not only did they not support those amendments, but they actually voted against them which leads me to believe that my at tempts to close the gap between myself and the parliamentary wing of the party have not been successful.” There were other, more direct signs that he was being pushed away.Over the past few months, Johnston was publicly attacked by influential francophone MPs from Quebec, such as Raymond Gar-neau and Jean Claude Malepart, who accused him of refusing to come to terms with the new Quebec.He has also clashed with Turner over the free trade deal.Turner has said he would tear it up, but Johnston, who also has criticized the deal reached by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, had called on the Liberals to suggest improvements to the pact.Donald Johnston.7 can't think of what else I can do as an individual.' MONTREAL (CP) — Iran officially requested an immediate investigation Monday by the International Civil Aviation Organization into the destruction of an Iranian civilian airliner by an American warship in the Strait of Hormuz.ICAO officials said they need more information, particularly from the United States, before granting the request.“We have not received.preliminary reports regarding the circumstances from the parties involved, except from Iran,” said ICAO president Assad Kotaite.The destruction on Sunday of the Iran Air Airbus by guided missiles from the cruiser USS Vincennes left 290 passengers and crew dead.On Monday, All Akbar Golruni, Iran’s representative to ICAO, filed a formal request for an emergency meeting of the organization’s council to set up an inquiry into the crash.Meanwhile, the International Air Transport Association, which represents commercial airlines, called on the Iranian and American governments to provide “all relevant information to ICAO as soon as possible as a basis for a full objective inquiry.” ICAO, a United Nations agency that has 159 member countries, oversees the safety and efficiency of world airlines.A month after the Soviet Union shot down a Korean Air Lines passenger plane on Sept.1, 1983, with the loss of 269 lives, the full ICAO assembly asked five member countries to establish an investigating team to look into the incident.Two months later the team concluded the navigator of the plane must have punched' incorrect figures into the computer on board, a finding that remains unproven since the black box aboard the plane was never recovered.Detainee let go Cushnie gets MONTREAUCP) - A man was released from custody Monday following a Quebec Court of Appeal ruling last week criticizing federal immigration authorities for unprofessional behavior.The appeal court ruled that Michael Donovan Cushnie, 24, who is apparently without a country, could no longer be held while immigration officials tried to determine his nationality.William Schabas, Cushnie’s lawyer, said Monday the man is “evaluating the possibility” of a damage suit against the federal go-vernmentfor being held at the Par- Next stop Wimbledon.HP Ml ¦ î Young Duncan Cameron must have been watching TV during the rainy parts of last weekend.Duncan, 5, is a New Yorker.He’s working on his tennis this summer while staying at a family home .4^— RKORDGRAN'I SIMKON in North Hatley.Rule number one is simple, Duncan: Keep your eye on the ball.break from Quebec Court of Appeal thenais detention centre for four months after he was eligible for parole from a jail sentence arising from a cocaine trafficking conviction.He was held while immigration inspectors tried to determine his nationality in order to deport him.Cushnie.an orphan since birth, claims to be an American but U S.immigration officials deny that he has citizenship there.Cushnie and a companion came to Canada from the U S.They were arrested in Chicoutimi and convicted in November 1986 of possession with intent to traffic in 116gramsof cocaine The appeal court said immigration efforts to place Cushnie lacked the necessary "zeal” and called Cushnie’s plight ‘’abhorrent.” Schabas said that the federal lawyer told him the government will not appeal the release order, but will still try to deport Cushnie.Schabas wants his client granted a work permit until a country can be found to accept him, or until it can be shown he is indeed American.Immigration officials were not available for comment Monday.New Jersey authorities have said they had a warrant for Cus- hnie’s arrest on charges of rape, illegal entry and theft, but although they notified their Canadian counterparts of their intention to extradite, they never followed through.Schabas said he sent a subpoena to the U.S.consulate in an attempt to clarify Cushnie’s status, but the consulate invoked its immunity and refused to respond to the lawyer’s subpoena.The lawyer said the importance of the Court of Appeal’s ruling is that it established that "you can't hold someone indefinitely while you're waiting to deport him.” McDougall wont renegotiate special immigration agreement with Quebec OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government won’t renegotiate an agreement that allows Quebec some say in its immigrants.Immigration Minister Barbara McDougall said Monday.Tory backbencher John Oostrom asked the minister to review the so-called Cullen-Couture protocol, signed in 1978, “in order that one uniform policy applies to all of Canada ’’ He cited a Toronto Globe and Mail article that said Quebec has accepted almost 200 wealthy Hong Kong businessmen who originally failed to meet federal immigration criteria.“Wealthy individuals who have initially been denied immigration status by our immigration officials are using an agreement between Canada and the province of Quebec to gain landed status in Canada." Oostrom told the Commons.“Now, after they are approved in Quebec, these individuals can move and settle anywhere in Canada." As a result.Oostrom said, the Ot-tawa-Quebee protocol should be changed.However, McDougall said all im- migrants must meet Canadian standards no matter which program they enter under, including the Cullen-Couture agreement.She added that anyone who comes to Caanda to live has “the freedom under our Constitution to move to other parts of Canada should they so wish.” The minister said her department works closely with Quebec in terms of the Cullen-Couture agreement and will continue to do so."But it's not my intention at this stage to alter the agreement with Quebec.” Barbara McDougall.immigrants must meet Canadian standards.Indecent exposure charges laid Toronto jet protest unruly, unorganized TORONTO (CP) — At least 42 protesters were arrested and three policemen injured Monday during demonstrations against the U.S.missile attack that killed all 290 people aboard an Iranian jetliner on Sunday, police said.Eleven people were arrested early in the day at the U.S.Consulate and about 31 others were arrested after the protesters moved to several downtown sites.Police said three officers were treated in hospital for minor injuries.The demonstrations started in the morning with about 50 people in front of the Ontario legislature protesting the destruction of the jetliner by U.S forces.American officials said the plane was attacked over the Persian Gulf after it closed on U.S.navy ships and failed to respond to seven warnings.They said U.S.forces mistook the jetliner for an F-14 Tomcat fighter.Protesters in Toronto originally planned to simply march to the U.S.Consulate.By midafternoon, the group of about 50 people tripled in size as members of anti-nuclear organizations and others joined in.“It seems like everybody wanted to get involved,” said Const.William Miller.LAYS CHARGES Police on horsebac k and on foot laid charges of assault, mischief and indecent exposure.A group of self-described women anarchists had previously planned a “topless action” Monday to protest public decency laws.They apparently joined the protest.About 300 people from across North America were attending the last day of the Anarchist Survival Gathering, a celebration of their opposition to authority.“They said they were going to do most of their damage today and that’s what they’re doing,” said a police spokesman One arrest was made after a cup of red paint was thrown at the United States Consulate and splattered a fashionable private club next door.The protesters said they were using red paint because they “didn’t have time to get real blood.” Several demonstrators smeared themselves with paint while others chanted and carried a black coffin.“There were 290 civilians on that plane, minding their own business and not part of any war," said freelance writer Maggie Helwig.Helwig and another woman were charged with public mischief after police spotted two protesters wiping paint on newspaper boxes.Police said eight people were charged after they lay down in the street, tying up morning rush-hour traffic.Instead of only protesting at the consulate, the group spread out and gathered supporters, marching to Toronto city hall.Police stopped the group from entering the Eaton’s Centre shopping plaza before it dispersed, travelling both north and south on University Avenue.One section of the group —about 100 people — headed to the steps of the legislature, wondering where to go next.A few demonstrators carried the anarchists black flag, while one man dragged a U.S.flag along the ground Many covered their faces with bandanas or balaclavas.During its disorganized assembly at a park near the legislature, the group discussed moving on to protest at the Japanese consulate to demand the release of a political prisoner facing a death sentence in that country.Until the Iranian passenger jet was shot down, Japan was to have been the main focus of the anarchists.The group, however, was unsure about where the Japanese Consulate is located.The protesters also debated whether anarchists from Vancouver — who are unfamiliar with Toronto — should continue leading the march.In the end, they couldn’t decide what to do so they left the park.By the time the group had travelled for a couple of kilometres in late afternoon, it had dwindled to only 20 people.Dollar takes a beating due to U.S.festivities TORONTO (CP) - A strong U.S.dollar and light trading volumes caused by the holiday in the United States drove the Canadian dollar down more than half a cent Monday.The dollar closed in Toronto at 81.83 cents US, down 58-100ths of a cent from its close on Thursday, after hitting a six-year high of 83.19 cents US June 23.But analysts warn Monday’s market may have been distorted by light trading volumes accompanying the U.S.holiday and by initial reaction to news the U.S.navy shot down one of Iran’s civilian airplanes in the Persian Gulf on Sunday.The U.S.dollar climbed to its highest level this year against the yen.It closed in London Monday at 135.43 yen, up from 134.15 yen Friday.“The Canadian dollar has had a good run-up since the beginning of the year and now we’re just seeing some strength in the U.S.dollar,” said Bert Squires, a senior currency trader with the Royal Bank of Canada.Michael McCracken, an economist with Infometrica in Ottawa, said the Canadian dollar's decline is explained in part by a slight narrowing of the gap between Canadian and U.S.interest rates recently.The U.S.prime rate is now nine per cent, while in Canada it's significantly higher at 10.75 per cent.« 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 5, 1988 Natives claim CSIS tampering with mail WINNIPEG (CP) — Letters detailing the plight of natives in Canada and mailed to the American and Soviet embassies in Ottawa ’are likely in the hands of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service, a spokesman for a Manitoba native group said Monday.“Our letters to the American embassy and our letter to the Soviets have been intercepted because they have not gotten there,” said Terry Nelson, a spokesman for the Pembina Anishinabe, a small group which has about 50 members in southern Manitoba near the U.S.border.“We have sent our letters registered mail and yet they have never got there.” Nelson said his group believes CSIS is behind the disappearance of the letters, even though they have no proof.He said the first missing letter, to the American embassy in Ottawa, was sent May 10 by registered mail.When a phone call to the embassy at the end of May revealed the Tetter had not reached its destination, Nelson said they sent a copy of the original by courier.LOSES LETTER This letter also failed to reach its destination, as did a similar letter to the Soviet embassy on June 27.“(Our) specific proof is that other organizations, their letters were intercepted by CSIS,” said Stan Nelson, also with the group.Stan Nelson cited the example of a letter sent by a native official working on a federal government program to promote native economic development near the Roseau River reserve in southern Mani toba.He said the letter, sent by the of ficial to Indian Affairs Minister Bill McKnight by courier, never reached the minister and the courier confirmed that the envelope was picked up en route by CSIS.Gerry Cummings, a CSIS spokesman in Ottawa, would only say Monday that it was unlikely the agency is behind the missing mail.Cummings said the agency’s policy prevents it from confirming or denying an investigation, but because of all the recent publicity surrounding the agency, many make false allegations against it.“A lot of people make allegations that CSIS is intercepting their communications, electronically or through the mail,” Cummings said.“I don’t know why these people would be under that assumption but, if they have a concern about that, there are channels that they can pursue to try to get responses to that sort of question.” HIDES INFORMATION Nelson said he’s sure the Canadian government doesn’t want the information contained in the letters to reach the international community.In the letters, the group asks the U.S.and Soviet governments to help native Canadians financially as well as by spreading the message that natives in Canada are being “economically blackmailed,” by their government.“We have no future because we have little left of our lands, we are dehumanized, our right to the land is rationalized away,” says a copy of the five-page letter sent to the American embassy.“We require dollars for our immediate necessities.We are struggling to survive.“We need international investment in our economy, but in order to properly prepare our business proposals, we need interim cash,” the letter to the Soviet embassy said.Governmet restricts debate to pass C-72 OTTAWA (CP) — The government agreed Monday to restrict Commons debate on its bilingualism legislation in a bid to sidetrack Tory backbenchers who are trying to stall the bill.Under an agreement by the three parties, debate on report stage of Bill C-72 — and on 136 amendments proposed by disgruntled Tory backbenchers — will take place Wednesday, Tory deputy House leader Doug Lewis told the Commons.Final-approval debate will be restricted to two hours on Thursday morning, Lewis said in tabling a motion to implement the plan.Bill C-72, which amends the 19-year-old Official Languages Act, would allow more public servants to work in the official language of their choice and guarantee the right to trial in either English or French.About 15 Tory MPs — dubbed "dinosaurs” by the opposition — MONTREAL (CP) — A federal program intended to make it easier for small companies to get some of the $8-billion worth of federal contracts awarded each year was announced Monday.“Everybody knows that small business cannot compete in the same league with multinational corporations for major government procurement projects,” Bernard Valcourt, minister of state for small business and tourism, said at a news conference.Under the program, prime contractors bidding on contracts Worth $10 million to $100 million will be required to submit a small business sub contracting plan.Projects over $100 million will in-elude small business sub-‘ Contracting plans, and will be .Considered part of the bid evalua-1 tion criteria.Firms competing for small .contracts under $25,000 will be put on a rotation system, “sothatother firms can have a crack at them,” Valcourt said.“Quite often, contracts are just renewed with the same company.” The Department of Supply and ; Services will also hire six small-business advocates to identify op-! portunites for suppliers and ensure : that small business takes advan-; : tage of them.#¦____faei icecora George MacLaren,

Sherbrooke, Quebec, J1K 1A1.Second class registration number 1064.Member of Canadian Press Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation have been fighting the bill, saying it discriminates against people who speak only English.Their hopes of stalling the bill with long speeches on the 136 amendments — some of which run contrary to existing law — were dashed by the all-party agreement.LEADS DISSIDENTS Ron Stewart, a dissident who represents Simcoe South in Ontario, accused the government of muzzling democracy.“Imagine bringing in time allocation on your own members,” Stewart said in an interview immediately after the motion passed.“It used to be a democratic society that we had.“It obviously no longer is.” He said the government is pushing backbenchers to withdraw their amendments and he fears he’ll be blocked from the debate.Several hours later, Stewart denied to reporters there was any effort to muzzle the dissidents.In the Commons, the opposition kept up pressure on the government, demanding to know why Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Secretary of State Lucien Bouchard haven't denounced the dissidents."The government is tolerating that a certain number of PC members who are anti-francophone, anti-bilingualism and almost anti-Canadian because they’re asking for a kind of linguistic separation,” said Jean-Robert Gauthier, the Liberal’s official languages critic.New Democrat Michael Cassidy asked if Mulroney’s recent silence means he wants to send one message to Quebec and another to voters in the dissidents’ largely rural and Western ridings.PROTECTS PRINCIPLE Mulroney and Bouchard were not in the Commons, but several ministers said the government will vote against any amendments that run contrary to the principles of the bill.They accused the opposition of playing political games with the sensitive languages issue.“Those who would try to use the issue of bilingualism for their own partisan purposes do so not only at their own peril, but at the peril of all the people who live in this country,” said Trade Minister John Crosbie, who was acting prime minister.Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn said the bill has the full support of Mulroney and Bouchard.Outside the Commons, Quebec MPs played down the impact the controversy would have on the party’s fortunes in that province.“When you have over 200 members of this party who will vote for this bill, it’s more than enough.” said Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard.“I will hear again a lot of my colleagues from Western Canada and Ontario who will speak for the bill and it’s great.” News-in-brief Small businesses to get a helping hand for federal contracts The program favors regional development, because the advocates will work with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and the Department of Western Economic Diversification, federal programs pushing development in those regions.Michel Decary, director general for Quebec of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said the program looks promising.“That the government seems to be aware of the existence of small business and in particular be aware that it hasn’t gotten its share (of contracts), is an interesting development.” Decary said in an interview that the government doesn’t purposely ignore small business in its procurement, but the federal bureaucracy makes it tough for small firms to get contracts.Filling out many forms, long delays, and being unaware of tenders published “in obscure publications” means “a lot of companies just give up,” Decary said.Valcourt said the Conservative government is allied philosophically with small business.“We are, in fact, the government of small business and entrepreneurship.” About 80,000 companies are listed as suppliers with the Department of Supply and Services.The search is over QUEBEC (CP) — An archeologist digging beneath the Quebec basilica believes he may have found the grave of Quebec’s founder, Samuel de Champlain.Rene Levesque says he has found a crypt covered in copper, wood and mortar, probably da ting from the 17th century.He said the relative richness of the tomb materials is a sign that someone important is buried within.Levesque, who has been searching for Champlain’s grave for 40 years, said he now is awaiting the necessary permits to open the tomb.Levesque said although there are no identifying marks on the grave, remains of period clothing from the era of New France and a 1633 or 1635 French coin featuring the head of Louis XIII were found nearby.Champlain, who founded Quebec City in 1608 and was the first governor of the colony of New France, died in 1635.He was buried here but the exact location of the grave has not been known since a fire destroyed a chapel on the burial site.Food irradiation reclassification OTTAWA (CP) — A federal proposal to reclassify food irradiation as a process rather than an additive won’t affect the quality of testing, Health Minister Jake Epp said Monday.Studies “would still have to be done on a case-by-case basis, and efficacy and health would have to be proven,” he told the Commons.Concerned groups have one month to comment on the proposal before the regulation comes into force in early August.Liberal MP Russ MacLellan says the change will mean irradiated food — which involves exposing food to gamma radiation to kill bacteria and extend shelf life — will receive inadequate testing.Curtis refuses interviews SPRINGHILL, N.S.(CP) — Bruce Curtis, a Nova Scotia man doing time for a killing he says was accidental, has said no to a flood of media requests for interviews.Allen Dill, a spokesman at Springhill medium-security prison, said Monday that Curtis turned down the requests because he hadn’t decided on his future plans.Last spring, Curtis, 24, of Mount Hanley, N.S., was transferred to Canada from a New Jersey prison to finish out a 20-year sentence for the 1982 shooting death of an American woman.He gained fame in Canada after a New Jersey court gave him a maximum sentence for aggravated manslaughter in the death of Rosemary Podgis, 56, the mother of a high-school classmate.Curtis is currently in the general inmate population, said Dill.Police chief charged TRURO, N.S.(CP) — In a quiet change of venue to a Halifax court, town police chief Sam MacDonald of Springhill, N.S., has pleaded guilty to refusing a breathalyser test.MacDonald had been scheduled to appear in provincial court in Truro this morning, but court officials said the venue was changed and he appeared in Halifax provincial court last Thursday.Youthful exuberance WINNIPEG (CP) — The federal New Democratic Party has an official youth wing for the first time in 15 years following the founding convention over the weekend of the New Democratic Youth of Canada.The 100 convention delegates, all under 26 years of age and from every province except New Brunswick and Newfoundland, elected Michelle Brown, a student at the University of Alberta, as their president for the next two years.“Our main priority is to get more youth involved and to play a really active role in the next federal election,” said Brown, who is working for an NDP candidate in Edmonton.“I think there is a good chance of forming the next government.” Stamps please STELLARTON.N.S.(CP) - Sobeys Stores, the largest supermarket chain in the Maritimes, says it won’t be putting post-office franchises in any additional stores because they are not profitable enough Sobeys set up post offices in three of its Nova Scotia stores.Vice-president John Sobey said Monday plans to expand the postal franchises to other Sobeys stores in six provinces are on hold unless Cana da Post changes the profit-sharing plan.Operation a success CALGARY (CP) — A four-hour operation to help lengthen and straighten a 14-year-old’s crippled right leg is being called a success.“It went well,” said Dr.Steven Miller, the orthopedic surgeon at Calgary’s Foothills Hospital who performed the surgery.“ W’e were able to correct about 30 degrees of deformity.” The operation involved cracking Drew Campbell’s thigh bone and straightening it with a hinged steel frame connected to the leg with steel rings and wire.Miller will lengthen the bone by stretching the soft new tissue of the healing fracture by one millimetre a day for 40 days, until it adds four centimetres to Campbell’s leg.Vietnam vets organize EDMONTON (CP) — Vietnam war veterans in the Edmonton area are organizing a local branch of the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Association.Ron Davis, 38, of the Sherwood Park area, says he started organizing about a month ago and more than a dozen veterans are now involved.Davis, who served in the U.S.101st Airborne Regiment in Vietnam from 1967 to 1973, has been elected president of the local group.A board of directors also has been appointed.Towns evacuated TONAWANDA, N.Y.(AP) — Hundreds of residents from two towns were evacuated as toxic chemicals spewed from a plant fire, which firefighters brought under control Monday.The blaze which followed an explosion at Polymer Applications Co.burned out of control late Sunday night because firefighters feared more explosions of the chemical tanks that surround the company, police said.Firefighters resumed their efforts after flames that shot 30 metres into the air died down.Canadian Sikh faces trial LONDON (CP) — A former British Columbia resident left his “unmistakable signature” on the bomb that killed two men at a Tokyo airport three years ago, a British court was told Monday.Inderjit Singh Reyat bought the materials for the bomb and assembled it in British Columbia as part of “an act of terrorism conceived in Canada” but aimed at India, the court was told.British lawyer Clive Nicholls, acting for the Canadian government, said debris from the bomb corresponds in many ways with the materials purchased in British Columbia.Bush Queen’s cousin?LONDON (AP) — U.S.Vice-President George Bush is a distant cousin of the Queen and has blood ties with every other European royal family on or off the throne, says the publishing director of a blueblood directory.Going by precedent, that bodes well for Bush in November’s presidential election, predicted Harold Brooks-Baker, an American who has made a name for himself analysing royal lineages, especially where they link up with the White House.“Without any shadow of doubt, Vice-President George Bush is connected to more imperial, royal and noble houses than any previous president,” he said.Doonesbury USSR declares amnesty MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet Union announced today it would grant an amnesty to any of its troops who deserted their units in Afghanistan during the eight-year Red Army involvement in the war there.Prosecutor General A.Y.Sukharev told a news conference in Moscow that some soldiers are believed to be in Canada, the United States or Western Europe.He gave no indication how many.Soldiers wanted for trial GIBRALTAR (Reuter) — Gibraltar’s coroner has ordered British security forces involved in the killing of three unarmed Irish Republican Army guerrillas in the British colony in March to appear at an inquest later this year.Felix Pizzarello said today the inquest will begin Sept.6 and told a preliminary hearing he wants to hear evidence from seven British soldiers in person and not through written statements.The seven soldiers, widely believed to be members of Britain’s anti-terrorist Special Air Service, were identified only by the letters A to G.More riots on West Bank BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — Hundreds of Arab students pelted soldiers with rocks and blocked a main road in Bethlehem Monday causing the army to slap a three-day closure order on all West Bank schools.Dozens of students were overcome by tear gas, hospital officials said.Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres announced the Arab uprising in the occupied territories has cost the Defence Ministry the equivalent of $197 million Cdn in almost seven months and Israel’s economy is in danger if the rebellion continues, Israel radio said.BY GARRY TRUDEAU T u e s d a y will be sunny with cloudy periods and a high risk of

the office: Report shows gender imbalance at city hall By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE - Women represent only 17 per cent of the permanent workforce among Sherbrooke’s city workers and there are no women in high-level city management positions, council has learned.These are some of the facts that come out of a study into job equality for women among Sherbrooke city workers.The report, complete with recommendations on how to improv e the status of women in the municipal job sector, was released at Monday’s council meeting.There may be hope for women yet.Councillors voted in favor of accepting the report , which recommends hiring a full time job-equality co-ordinator for one year.Unable to contain himself from making a joke about the job report, Mayor Jean Paul Pelletier asked if men would be allowed to apply for the position.PREFERENTIAL MEASURES City status of women coordinator Johanne Mercier, who presented the report and recommendations, replied to the mayor that women are under-represented in public service and the city would be justified in taking preferential measures to establish gender balance at city hall.“I apologize,” the mayor replied lightheartedly.‘it's just my macho side showing itself.” He had no other immediate comment.In an interview afterwards Mercier said council’s agreement in principle with the report was a positive step in improving the lot of women working for Sherbrooke.Some employment areas are completely blocked to women — “such as Sherbrooke Hydro and the fire department,” Mercier said.“And there are only two full-time and one part-time policewomen.” Mercier also said few women are in a position to be promoted to municipal management jobs and that w’omen are rarely hired in 'non-traditional’ jobs.AWARENESS Mercier says the first step in combatting the problem is to make people aware of it.“We have to ensure an evolution of the mentality of people," she said.But the real objective of the committee is to find concrete solutions to allow women equal access to jobs and promotions.“We have to question the selection standards the city is using,” Mercier said.Temporary measures need to be adopted in order to ensure women are hired in jobs where women are underrepresented compared to the private sector, she said.Mercier also said the city should offer training to women in order to insure they qualify for promotions Mercier said it should be easier for women to transfer from one union to another for promotions.Other statistics released in the report show that : • Women represent 17 per cent of the city's permanent employees and 21 per cent of all workers; • Some 83 per cent of women working for the city occupy office jobs; • While men are represented in all professional job categories, women are absent in six of 11; • Women represent only 6 per cent of the municipal w orkforce in other categories than office work, where they represent 70 per cent ; • In almost all cases women oecu py jobs that are traditionally reserved for them; • With comparable education women have positions that offer less chance of promotion than men ; • There are no women in high-level city management; • Only -1 per cent of middle-management jobs are occupied by women ; • Women represent a mere 1 per cent of service employees like police.fire department and Hydro Sherbrooke workers; • Women occupy the lowest paid jobs such as receptionists, typists, cashiers, clerks and secretaries.The study was made possible by a Quebec Municipal Affairs Ministry grant to look into equality for women in municipal activities.The committee was formed of tw'o city councillors, including the only female councillor, Françoise Dunn, along with Ulric Chainé.F our other women were also on the committee including Mercier, committee president Lise Lemieux, Sylvie Paradis Huot and Dianne Laçasse.“We have been working on this since 1984,” Paradis-Huot said.“Finally w'e have arrived at something concrete.” Jean-Paul Pelletier.Just my macho side.City will pay the rent for 20 years Sherbrooke council approves big convention centre for King-Wilson site SHERBROOKE - In a 9-2 split decision Monday Sherbrooke city council has decided to allow construction of a convention centre proposed by Le Groupe Hervé Po-merleau and les Entreprises RI-MAC Inc.The centre will be built at the corner of King and Wilson streets on land leased from the city for 20 years.The city will rent the entire complex from the promoters for 20 years, then buy it from them for one dollar.Sherbrooke will pay $300.000 a year rent for the convention centre, but it will bring the city a lot of money, predicts Charles Martel, director of finances for the city.Aside from the Pomerleau/RI-MAC proposal another was submitted by the chain Invest Hotel, which owns Le Baron Hotel and proposed that it be converted into a convention centre.Monday Martel presented council with a breakdown of anticipated financial spinoffs from both proposals.HALL FOR 1200 Pomerleau/RIMAC proposed a hotel and convention centre including a reception hall for 1200 people — bigger than any in Sherbrooke — plus 10 smaller meeting rooms and an entrance hall capable of holding a large group.The centre would also include free office space for the city’s tourist and convention bureau.This first phase would cost about $14.5 million to build and bring the city annual property and business taxes of just under $350,000.The development would also include two further phases including a shopping centre and a residential development.This would bring even more tax money but has not been included in the financial study, Martel said.Le Baron’s proposal was for a reception hall for 1000 people along with 60 additional hotel rooms.It would be built onto the hotel on King west.The Invest Hotel project would cost about $7.5 million and would yearly bring the city property and business taxes of about $168,000, Martel predicted.However the Invest Hotel propo- sal would be a strictly private project, requiring no investment of public funds.STUDIED BY COMMITTEE Martel said both proposals were carefully studied by a committee formed of himself, Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier and councillors Jacques Jubinville, Bernard Tanguay, and Serge Cardin.The committee recommended the Pomerleau/RIMAC offer.Martel said three important elements were considered — the credibility of promoters, economic spinoffs for the city and creation of new jobs.The two dissenting councillors, Jean Perreault and Laurier Cus-teau, said they were against the city investing in the convention centre.They said they would prefer a fully private initiative.Perreault claimed that all publicly-run convention centres operate at a deficit and that governments at all levels are attempting to privatize their centres to be rid of the financial burden.LEAVE IT TO BUSINESS “Economically the advantage is not that great.” Perreault said.“We should leave the initiative to the private sector.” Perreault also said Sherbrooke’s costs would be much greater than $6 million.He said there would be other hidden costs such as spending to improve streets around the new centre.Custeau said the city should keep its nose out of the affair and that Pomerleau would go ahead with the project even without $6 million of city money.“It is imprudent and even a little indecent for the city to take part in this,” Custeau said.But Martel said the city has two insurance policies to make sure the convention centre doens’t become a white elephant’.“Pomerleau has promised to pay a minimum of $650,000 a year in property and business taxes beginning in 1991,” he said.As well, “They have also agreed to buy back the convention centre from the city at the end of 20 years for the sum of $1.5 million, if the city wants to get rid of it.” — Rita Legault Customs supervisor: Jamaicans get closer look Partner’s girlfriend’s friend sends Philipsburg drug-smuggling suspect to trial COWANSVILLE (JM) — Fernand Johnson, of Laval des Rapides, was cited to jury trial recen-ily following a preliminary hearing for conspiracy with five other persons and smuggling 662 grams of cocaine.The alleged crime was uncovered at Philipsburg on Nov.24,1987.According to an RCMP source the drug had an estimated street value of $400,000.Olivia Morrison, who gave her address as Maison Tanguay (the Quebec prison for women in Montreal), was federal prosecutor Serge Champoux’s prime witness.Morrison told of flying from Miami to Cleveland with Kensworth Scott.She said she was carrying three ounces of cocaine for Scott.She said the two met Jacqueline Simmonds in Cleveland, flew to Newark, then on to Burlington, Vt.There they were met by Johnson, his ex-wife Dezonie Ferguson-Johnson.and Carline Ferron, she said.They split into two cars and By Ina Fichman for Mainland Press QUEBEC CITY - In the past year Canada Post has faced a plethora of criticism for inaugurating neighborhood mailboxes, for increasing postal rates, and, in particular, for shutting down rural post offices and transferring services to private business outlets.Now some of this criticism will be forwarded to a new government body called the Postal Service Review Board.This board will be able to propose changes in rates and services, but it won’t have any regulatory powers.BOARD HAS NO CLOUT “I’m sure the board will act with sincerity, but there’s no way of ensuring their recommendations will be enacted.” says Cynthia Patterson of Barachois in the Gaspé.She is national co-ordinator of the small town and country citizens' group Rural Dignity.“Unfortunately, the minister SHERBROOKE - A three-year-old girl died on her birthday Sunday when she was run over by a car in the yard of her Newport Township home Dead is Rebecca Garfat of Redden Road in Newport, east of Sa- headed north for the international border.NOT ELIGIBLE “I knew I wasn’t eligible to go to Canada and Kensworth was supposed to have paid me $1000 for carrying the drugs and give me plane fare back to Houston,” Morrison said.“But they didn’t have the cash.” She said Ferguson-Johnson said there wouldn’t be any problem at the border as her husband was a Canadian citizen.Morrison, the only one of the sextet unable to raise bail, spent five months in preventive detention, then pleaded guilty to conspiracy and smuggling 30 grams of cocaine.Federal lawyer Serge Cham-poux and her lawyer made a common suggestion of 30 months in jail which was imposed by Sessions Court Judge Bernard Legaré.She told Legaré, who also presided at Johnson’s hearing, that Kensworth Scott was the master- responsible for Canada Post, Harvey André, and the government itself, haven’t followed recommendations made by their own standing committee on government operations.” Review board members like Sally Hall defend this new body by pointing out that at the very least it will give Quebecers a chance to present their views on the postal system to the government.PUBLIC HEARINGS This will be done by a series of public hearings to be held across Canada.As well, “customer councils” will be set up in each of Canada Post’s nine regions.These councils will listen to complaints and then provide the national board with feedback.“We will go out and meet the people, and have public hearings.This way, the recommendations may be taken forward," Hall said.The Postal Service Review Board is modelled on a similar system in the United Kingdom, called wyerville.The girl was crushed by a reversing car while a party at the home was winding up at about 5:25 p.m.She was rushed to Sherbrooke University hospital (CHUS) but pronounced dead on arrival.mind of the drug deal as well as being Ferguson-Johnson’s lover.She was less than specific about Johnson’s role, other than saying that she was in his car when they arrived at Philipsburg.Two packages of 78 to 95 per cent cocaine were found under the hood of Johnson’s long-term rental car.CUSTOMS MAN Jacques Dupuis, a former customs agent, said he was the supervisor working the ‘first point’ of entry when the cars arrived about 45 seconds apart.He confirmed Morrison’s statement that she was not eligible to leave the United States without having re-entry problems.Dupuis also said Johnson’s papers were in order as a Canadian, and that Simmonds, like Morrison a native of Jamaica, was a U.S.citizen on welfare — making her a high risk for entry.He said he referred them to ‘secondary’ inspection and had a fellow officer take Morrison’s and Simmonds’ papers to an immigration officer for exa- eye on new “Pounce”.Many Pounce recommendations have been adopted in regulatory form in Britain.The $5 million-per-year Canadian board will have five members.Its aim is to ensure that rate increases will be kept to a minimum.That, of course, would be without plunging Canada Post into a deficit situation, and curtailing the level of postal services Quebecers and other Canadians receive.INCREASES ALREADY SET The board will have no power to review increases already announced for next January.These include a one-cent hike in first class domestic mail, and increases of up to 30 per cent in service charges and other rates.All this doesn’t satisfy Rural Dignity.“There are 15 different service charges in Canada Post.These include things like change-of-address cards.The price of the 15 services has escalated between 29 per cent and 843 per cent.But all this is really outside the mandate of the board,” Patterson said.As well, Patterson said she wants to ensure that the board deals with matters of concern to residents of rural areas.SPECIAL RURAL CONCERNS “We hope to have a series of meetings with them (the board) to talk mination.SECOND CHECK Dupuis said the second car raised more thoughts of the possibility of drugs as the three occupants were all natives of Jamaica, a source of illegal drugs.He said Ferron and Ferguson-Johnson were Canadian citizens but that Kensworth Scott produced three different pieces of identification, including a U.S.voter’s card from Kansas City, Mo.The suspects were referred to ‘secondary’ and immigration officers were asked to check out Scott.They then told him Ferguson-Johnson, who had denied knowing Fernand Johnson, both had the same home address.Customs agent Artura Ventura told of finding the drug.When questioned by defence lawyer Claude Hamann on Johnson’s reactions, he replied it was his first night on the job.“I had no idea I’d be that lucky and didn’t think to check for reactions,” Ventura explained.Post board about the fact that rural post offices have been shutdown, and that our services have been cut,” she said.A major question facing the review board is how to improve postal services without starving Canada Post financially.“That’s going to be a real challenge, and I don’t have a simple answer.We’ll just have to have a service that’s user-friendly, but which doesn’t run up a deficit,” says board member Hall But Rural Dignity’s Patterson is unsympathetic.She maintains that right now, Canada Post can actually afford to improve postal services in areas like rural Quebec.PUT CHANGES ON HOLD “The deficit issue doesn’t hold water any more.Canada Post is predicting a $26 million profit for 1988-89.Now is the time to put on hold steps like converting rural post offices to privatized outlets,” she said.While Patterson is skeptical about what powers the Postal Review Board will have, she said Rural Dignity will continue its political lobbying.The group will present briefs to the board to ensure that adequate postal service is maintained in rural regions.Ina Fichman is a writer and broadcaster in Quebec City.Customs agent Linda Blakeslee completed Champoux’s proof.ADMITS EVIDENCE Hamann admitted the quantity and purity of the drug and the police chain of possession leading to analysis.He also admitted that if customs agent Denis Hétu were heard he would confirm Ventura’s testimony about Johnson being told of his arrest, his right to contact a lawyer, and his right to remain silent.Following the testimony Ha mann said the court had no choice but to cite his client for illegal importation But he argued against the conspiracy charge.Hamann alleged there was no clear-cut proof of a prior plan to illegally import the cocaine.Prosecutor Champoux countered that thefiveof Jamaican origin had known each other for years.He said two cars left Montreal to go to Burlington to meet Scott, Morrison and Simmonds, which, coupled with false statements made at the border was sufficient proof to uphold the conspiracy charge.Judge Legaré said there was an overwhelming amount of circumstantial proof to support the conspiracy count and sent Johnson to jury trial.Kensworth Scott jumped $10,(KK) cash bail and failed to appear for his preliminary hearing.His bail was seized under a Superior Court order but the personal signator of an additional $10,000 has yet to be located.Judge Louis-Denis Bouchard issued an arrest warrant for Jacqueline Simmonds the day before the Johnson hearing, when the New York City resident failed to appear for her preliminary hearing.Sim monds was free on $10,000 cash bail and $10,000 unsecured guaranteed by a third party.Dezonie Ferguson-Johnson and Carline Ferron were earlier

Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial More than just apology is needed r It’ll cost a lot but the United States owes Iran â lot more than a half-hearted apology.The U.S.has a moral obligation to f inancially compensate anybody who lost family members when the U.S.navy mistakenly' shot down an Iranian airliner on Sunday, killing all 290 passengers and crew members on board.Think of the outrage caused not only in the U.S.but in Canada when the Soviet Union shot down a Korean Air Lines passenger jet Sept.1, 1983, leaving 269 dead.The Korean plane was just as off course as the Iranian one yet we didn’t stand for the excuse that it was mista kenly identified as a war (or espionage) plane.Yet Washington suddenly feels that an excuse like that is not only possible, but sufficient to close the matter.Well it’s not.The USS Vincennes — what the U.S.itself calls the most sophisticated war ship of its kind may very well have believed the off-course plane was a hostile attacker.But error or not, a country as rich as the U .S.should pay full compensation which could easily run as high as $500 million.And it should do it as quickly as possible.Picture a street bully who not only carries a handgun but continually brandishes it in order to show his power to others in the neighborhood.Now picture what the police would do, what citizens would want done, if while he was waving it about, the cartridge accidently went off, killing several inocent bystanders.The U.S.is that street bully.The Vincennes was clearly in the Strait of Hormuz flexing its muscles, showing its strength.If it hadn’t been so quick to show its superiority, the accident might not have happened.And though President Reagan said the incident was a “terrible human tragedy” and that “We deply regret any loss of life”.He has to sort of nullify his apology by saying the shooting was “proper defensive action.Reagan owes the families more than this half-hearted apology.He must get on with helping the victims’ surviving relatives (though no amount of money is compensation enough for the loss of a loved one).” But at least Washington apologized.And it likely was an accident.But, yes, despite the apology and accident, the U.S.still owes a lot of money to some very innocent people in Iran.CRAIG PEARSON Company helps with ‘sophomore slump’ By Nicholas Katsarelas PRINCETON, N.J.(AP>

be asleep at the switch Every so often I get the urge to write something about animals.Without fail, whether I write about raising them, breeding them, training them or even hunting them, there is a flood of letters from the “animal lovers”.These self-appointed protectors of the animal kingdom seem to resent anyone having an opinion about animals particularly anyone who doesn't see exactly eye-to-eye with them.I’ve had eagle eyes pick up on the slightest mention of animals.I even had nasty letters from animal activists when I wrote a bit about the importance of gun-safety and gun-safety training.You see, blood-thirsty Lawrence just ain’t allowed to mention animals.What I find strange however is that while a whisper about four-legged critters from me gets the full frontal barrage, not one word has been spoken about “Spuds McKenzie”.Spuds is a Bull Terrier who has become the mascot for Budweiser beer.He is touted as the original “party animal” and is shown attending swinging affairs with a bevy of laughing, singing, dancing beautiful young ladies.So far so good.What upsets me about the whole thing is the manner in which this dog is handled.He is dressed up in human clothing.Often he is shown in a shirt, tie and jacket and he is held upright to simulate a human position.He is shown from the waist up because obviously his handler is Where f ^ the pavement ¦ ends JIM LAWRENCE holding him in this vertical position.He does not look happy.Anyone who knows about dogs will tell you that they do not enjoy being confined in tight, unnatural wrappings.The shirt, tie and jacket would be most uncomfortable.Animals do not enjoy being physically confined — as he would be while held upright.Not only is the animal dressed up and forced to assume this unnatural position, but he is forced to do so for long periods of time.If you have ever seen a TV commercial being shot you will realize the number of hours, under hot bright lights, that humans endure in the search for bigger and better commecial success.Human models would be paid for their efforts.I’m sure this Bull Terrier is fed on a regular basis.I'm also sure that his owner and the beer manufacturer take relatively good care of him.Af- ter all he represents an expenditure of millions of dollars of advertising expense and counties gallons of foamy beverage to be peddled across the country.We have laws about exploiting children.The same animal “lovers ” who raise up and scream whenever an animal is inconvenienced, seem to have missed the boat on this one.The people who scream cruelty when a horse is asked to perform in a rodeo, doing something reasonably natural, for eight seconds, haven't seen fit to raise any questions about this dog — forced to perform under bright lights for hours at a time.Those same people who scream whenever an animal is used for commercial purposes (no matter what) are strangely quiet about “Spuds”.Could it be that palms have been greased?Could it be that donations to animal shelters have been made in the name of public relations?I don’t know — it just seems strange to me that not even a whisper has been heard from those who can normally be counted upon to wail from the rooftops.I find the use of this dog in this particular situation disturbing.First of all, the whole thing is an insult to our intelligence, it is sickeningly “cute” and silly to the extreme.Secondly they are exploiting, and cruelly mistreating the animal.get away with it without activating the seething mass of “animal lovers” so eager to pounce in other situations.*** Jangling Jim indeed! Recently my comments about “zero tolerance” were criticised by another columnist.While I’m used to some disagreement.and even relish the thought of upsetting some of the Record’s more predictable writers, I find this latest sly attack particularly stupid.Good ol’ Tad obviously didn’t read the column he attacked.I admit it seems strange to be so “picky — allowing tobacco and alcohol while clamping down on minute quantities ot ' crass".The point I tried to make, however, was that the rules are clear.Anyone who disregards the clearly stated rules and regulations, who feels they are above the law.or who thinks “one joint makes no difference” i- m lie a rude surprise.1 have no sympathy lor anyone who gets caught and then cries “foul”.It’s that “holier than thou” disregard of the law that puts convicted murderers, child rapists and kidnappers back on the street.If I’m a jangler or a redneck for supporting the US’s right to pass laws and enforce them, without consulting various Canadian (small “L”) liberal columnists, I suppose I’ll just have to bear the shame.PARLEZ-VOUS FRANÇAIS?UN PEU * # b LITTLE | * EH?/ üto J i'Éii SASKATCHEWflN I ALBERTA Francophone sailors face some language difficulty HALIFAX (CF) — They come from francophone families and towns from one end of the country to the other.But when French-speaking Cana dians join the navy, they might as well be from Bangkok when differences in language and customs arc measured.The navy is based in two areas where English is clearly the dominant language — Halifax and Esquimau, B.C., near Victoria.For francophone sailors, the first walk up the gangway of a warship can be intimidating.Once on board, French can often be a forgotten lan guage even though bilingualism is an official policy.“When they broadcast messages over the ship's public address system, they’re supposed to repeat everything in French," says A1 McLaren a young naval reservist who spent a summer on the destroyer Algonquin.“But after long announcements, the guy would just sign off after the English part saying, ‘And the same in French."’ McLaren tells this with a chuckle, but he knows his francophone buddies did not find the practice funny.Neither does Lt.-Cmdr.Serge Bertrand He’s second-in-command of Algon quin, which along with Skcena, are crewed mainly by francophones and conduct most on-board operations in French.PREFERS BOTH “Those occasions would be extremely rare,” says Bertrand."When long messages have to be piped, I prefer to see both French and English." Asked about the place of francophones in the future of the navy, Cmdr.Guy Voucher of Maritime Command paused thoughtfully before responding, “That question is answered in the same way you would answer the ques tion of Quebec's relationship with the rest of Canada," says Boucher, a 34-year navy veteran.Although he says current problems exist as ”a reflection of the national problem,” he has seen the navy's attitude toward francophone sailors improve dramatically over the years.To increase the percentage of French-speaking sailors — currently about 13 per cent — the navy has beefed up recruiting and opened a new reserve unit in Quebec and a few years ago.moved its naval reserve headquarters, staffed mostly by fulltime members of the navy, to Quebec City from Halifax.But the recruiting drive forces the navy into a delicate balancing act.It must ensure that francophone sailors receive a broad range of training, especially at sea, so that they are not deprived of chances for promotion, REVAMPS PROGRAM In 1984, the navy decided to revamp its Francotrain program, set up in the 1970s to allow francophone sailors to learn their skills in French.Francotrain is still only available at the basic training level, partly because of a lack of French-speaking instructors, says Cmdr.Gordon Oakley, head of the program Still, it is a fact of life that any sailor will have to learn English at some time in his career, since it is the international language at sea.On Algonquin and Skeena, like Allied warships where sailors might speak Dutch, German or Italian, communications with other NATO warships is in English.Official policies aside, perhaps English should be learned because of the unwritten social laws that govern na vy life, says Oakley.“Morally, if we are going to bring them into this environment, we’ve got to provide them with the social skills to live,” he says.Almost all the traditions, ranks and naval terminology used by Canadian sailors have British roots.While the adjustment for francophone sailors is often tough, support services, like language training, are usually not available to their families.LEARNS ENGLISH Lyne Caviola spoke only French when her air force husband, Capt.Serge Lesage, was posted to Halifax three years ago.“The language, the people, the lifestyle, the mentality, even the fashion were different," says Caviola, who learned English at a Canada Manpower course designed primarily for immigrants.She says the feeling of isolation and stress on service wives, especially when husbands are at sea for weeks or months at a time, have resulted in many marriage failures.Two years ago, the Forces opened a military family support centre in Halifax.Many calls to its help-line are from newcomers but Master Seaman Louis Gingras is the only francophone among five people who answer the average 800 calls a month, Gingras says as the number of francophones in the navy increases, there s a need for a special support group to help French-speaking families adjust.I I The KKl'ORl)—-Tuesday.July 5.liWS—5 Farm and Business —____ftej «Bcam Drought measured by social and economic impact By Darlene Rude The Canadian Press Somewhere between an almost snowless winter and a blue-sky spring, dry conditions turned into drought for many Prairie farmers.The dreaded word was whispered in rural cafes, and drought stories crept into newspapers as farmers anxiously watched the skies.In May and June, drought cropped up in the vocabularies of urban dwellers, when water shortages in several Canadian cities resulted in parched lawns and wilted garden plants.At the weather office, though, officials grappled with the problem of trying to define one of the most complex weather conditions.“There is no hard and fast definition of drought, ’ ’ said John Ben-dell, a climatologist with Environment Canada in Winnipeg.“It’s primarily in the eye of the beholder.As people became af- fected they started calling it a drought.” NOT DEFINED While other weather patterns like blizzards and tornadoes come with a set of criteria for such things as precipitation and wind speed, drought is much less specific.iFocus on Farmingt s* » af — A J From the glossary of the American Meteorological Society, used by Environment Canada officials, drought is defined only as a period of warm weather and prolonged lack of water.There’s no magic point at which dryness becomes drought, Bendell said, because droughts involve a combination of factors — soil moisture, heat, rainfall, snowfall and the area affected.But for farmers caught in a drought that has affected 90 per cent of the Prairie’s graingrowing area, the intensity is often measured in social and economic terms.Many old-timers claim the conditions are as bad as the Dirty Thirties, when successive dry years turned the Prairies into a dust bowl and forced some Saskatchewan farmers off the land.EXPECT LOSSES Farm groups estimate that about 30 percent of the grain crop could be lost this year or suffer heat damage.With grain prices just starting to creep up after years at rock-bottom, losses from drought could hit some financially burdened farmers hard.An Environment Canada review of statistics says the intensity of the dry spell and the area affected were slightly greater du- ring the 1930s than in the current drought.The review concludes that the Prairie’s driest year was 1937, when farmers got only 72 per cent of normal rainfall.So far this year, the Prairiewide average has been 78 per cent of normal.GETTING CLOSE "It seems as if the '30s still have a slight edge in terms of drought but we’re getting pretty close.” Bendell said.The weather has commentators scrambling for an explanation, such as the greenhouse effect.where pollution is blamed for a warming in the Earth’s climate.However, Bendell says the current conditions are still within normal ranges for western Canadian weather.“We shouldn't be surprised by years that come and are exceptionally dry — it’s normal on the Prairies.” Oilseed, wheat crops up feed grain down this year OTTAWA (CP> — Farmers seeded more oilseeds and w heat this spring but less feed grains.Statistics Canada reported Wednesday in its preliminary estimates of field crop plantings for 1988.The agency said oilseed plantings increased by 26 per cent with canola at a record 3.6-million hectares (8.9-million acres).36 per cent higher than last year.Soybeans were at a record 536,500 hectares (1.3-million acres), up 17 per cent and flaxseed 571,300 hectares (1 4 million acres) down seven per cent from last year.Total wheat plantings were down four per cent to 13-million hectares (21.2-million acres).Spring wheat seedings dropped by six per cent to 10,1-million hectares (25-million acres), durum plantings rose by five per cent to 2.3-million hectares (5.7-million acres) and winter wheat was up 13 per cent to 604,900 hectares (1.5-million acres).Plantings of grain corn and barley were down sharply, while oat plantings rose.Corn was planted on 981,400 hectares (2.5-million acres), down two per cent from last year while barley wi« on 4 5-million hectares (11-million acres), down 15 per cent from last year Oats were planted on 1.8- million hectares (4.5-million acres'.The agency said prairie farmers may cut more of their barley and oats as green feed for cattle because of a hay shortage caused by the drought.The extent of this would not be known until September » The agency also said prairie plantings of so-called specialty crops such as dry peas, lentils, mustard and canary seed, were up slightly from last year to 700,000 hectares (1,750.000 acres).Mustard is up 52 per cent, peas 19 per cent and canary seed 10 per cent.Lentil plantings are down 40 per cent.> Grain corn seedings in Ontario are down five per cent to about 700,000 hectares (1,750,000 acres) while in Quebec plantings rose by five per cent to 237,000 hectares (593,000

could be spending more than $1 billion annually over the next decade, opening as many as 10 shopping centres a year in the United States.The partnership, which has turned the American retailing and real estate industries on their ears, foresees the construction of five to 10 centres a year beginning in about two years, DeBartolo told Campeau Corp.’s annual meeting Thursday.“I think he’s a pretty exciting guy and he’s got a lot of guts,” DeBartolo said of Campeau after the jam-packed meeting.“Of course, our company has a lot of balls too.’ ’ DeBartolo, a new Campeau director, helped the Toronto-based company complete the biggest takeover in U.S.history outside the oil industry with the purchase in May of Federated Department Stores for $6.6 billion US.He loaned Campeau about $480 million US for the Federated purchase in return for more than 50 per cent of its U.S.holding company, Campeau Corp.U.S.Campeau, who spent part of the meeting fending off concerns about the company’s debt, added later that he and DeBartolo would share financing for any future shopping centre projects in the United States.Although Campeau built his fortune in Canada, he is focusing on improving profit prospects for Federated and Allied Stores, bought in 1986 for $3.6 billion US.In return for a commitment to anchor new shopping malls with prestige Allied and Federated department stores such as Blooming-dale’s, Campeau can bargain with developers for substantial equity interests in their malls.That gives Campeau and DeBartolo enormous clout in mapping shopping centre development in the United States.“Let’s say they're uncomfortable,” DeBartolo told reporters when asked how competitors feel about his new partner.Meanwhile, the feisty Campeau acknowledged that the first quarter for the retailing industry was not good, but insisted his company’s balance sheet will be in good shape by the end of the year.“We’re ready and set to go,” said a beaming Campeau.“No one can stop us now except ourselves.” Campeau president Jim Roddy said the selloff of assets that don’t fit the company’s strategy has reduced debt significantly.The company wants to keep only key strategic properties in high-growth centres in both countries.“It’s a debt level we’re comfortable with,” Roddy said.PAY DOWN DEBT The company is saddled with $3.68 billion US in long-term debt and must find ways of paying down an extra $6.2 billion in loans used to buy Federated.Company officials said they wouldn’t predict how much debt would drop by the end of the year because it’s not their policy and filing for a public share offering in the United States prohibits such projections.The company announced the sale of 37 properties in Ottawa for about $100 million Cdn to Toronto-based Bramalea Ltd.this week Earlier in June, it sold five office buildings and shopping malls to Laing Property Corp.of Vaneou ver for $180 million Cdn.However, Campeau said the company doesn’t expect to sell any • more assets in Canada.In addition to selling off land holdings in both countries, the company has cut costs by consolidating some operations and laying off ; more than 3,500 employees in the ' United States.The company reported opera ting profits of $57 million US on revenue of $745 US million for the first quarter ending April 30, compared with $59 million US in earnings on sales of $596 million US for the three months ending March 31, 1987.; However, it noted that revenue i was not comparable because of the change in the reporting period and the addition of new stores.B.C.farmers worry markets will be overwhelmed by U.S.produce following trade pact By Daphne Bramham VICTORIA (CP) — Hand-painted signs depicting top-hatted cherries, dressed-up peaches and even smiling prunes advertise the small family-run fruit stands along the winding roads of the arid Okanagan Valley.Farther south and west, in the lush Fraser Valley, billboards hawk an impressive array of vegetables.Such landmarks are familiar sights, but they may soon be a thing of the past.Many British Columbia farmers, worried about the Canada-U.S.free-trade pact and its elimination of protective tariffs, fear Canadian New oil finds, By Robert Weller OWENDO, Gabon (AP) — New oil finds and a $3-billion railway — built against the advice of western donors — promise even greater prosperity for Gabon, a country of just 1.2 million people that is among Africa's wealthiest.The railway has become the centre-piece of President Omar Bongo’s 20 years in office.It runs 637 kilometres from Owendo, an Atlantic port near Libreville, through theonce-impenetrable Forest of Bees to a mining centre near Franceville.There it will soon begin regularly hauling out more manganese, uranium and timber to increase Gabon’s export revenues.Full operation of the railroad awaits the expansion of port facilities in Owendo.markets will be overwhelmed with American fruit and vegetables that are cheaper and easier to produce.They say their American counterparts hold the upper hand because of a climate that allows for more productive use of land year-round.FEELS DEPRESSED “It's very depressing,” sighs Wilfrid Mennell, who has a 10-hectare orchard near Cawsten a few kilometres north of the Washington state border.“Some people are facing foreclosures and are almost in a psychological noman’s land.“It’s a very harsh world out railway line and Adding to the prospect of increased exports are the new oil discoveries.The outlook now is that Gabon will be adding to the prosperity that has raised its annual per capita income to the equivalent of $3.660 Cdn — in contrast to $964 in nearby Nigeria, $610 in neighboring Congo, $978 in Cameroon and $378 in the Central African Republic.Twice in this decade, Gabon’s oil reserves were reported to be running out, but both times fresh discoveries were made.FIELD IS BIG The second major oil find, the Rabi-Kounga field, "is a giant field .the biggest in West Africa,” said David Norman, director of Tenne co’s Gabon operations.Business briefs OTTAWA (CP) — It would irresponsible to predict how much initial prices for western grains could be increased for the start of the new crop year Aug.1, the parliamentary secretary for agriculture said Monday.Grain prices are volatile because droughts in Canada and the United States have made the size of the grain harvests in the two countries difficult to calculate, Lee Clark told the Commons.As well, he said, most farmers now delivering grain to the Canadian Wheat Board for sale are leaving the grain in storage so they can get paid when the new crop year starts — with a possible increase in the initial price.Farmers get an initial payment when they deliver their grain and a final payment if grain prices rise during the crop year.Stan Hovdebo, the NDP wheat board critic, said the government should increase the initial price immediately so farmers can get as much benefit as possible from rising grain prices.LONDON (Reuter) — European grain exporters are puzzled by reports that the Soviet Union has apparently bought about one million tonnes of U.S.corn for delivery in July and August.The Soviet Union is usually absent from the market in midsummer or, if buying at all, is looking to fill autumn needs.London freight traders said Monday there have been Soviet inquiries for grain vessels for August."The Soviets are sniffing around for enough vessels to ship one million tonnes,” one trader said.“I don't know why they're buying.’’ said a Geneva-based exporter who said he was involved in the deal."This is the first time I can remember them buying corn in July." The purchase may indicate Soviet concerns about U.S.supplies, as U.S.grain crops continue to wither under a scorching drought in the U.S.farm belt.Some traders said they thought the deal reflected unusually low Soviet grain stocks there and unless there is an upswing in the next two years, the risks are going to be tremendous.” Statistics Canada says British Columbia is responsible for about 11 per cent of the vegetables produced annually in Canada.The B.C.Vegetable Marketing Commission estimates its producers will lose $20 million over the 10-year phase-out period for tariffs on produce.After that, it estimates they will lose $3.5 million a year.The free-trade pact will eliminate the 12- to 15-per-cent seasonal tariffs on soft fruit and vegetables over a 10-year period.There is, however, a temporary tariff provision for up to 20 years if Canadian prices drop sharply.Those tariffs, established under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, ensure that B.C.crops are sold at prices competitive with the American imports John Savage, the province’s agriculture minister, has a mixed farm in the Fraser Valley.He says some of his neighbors and some or chardists will survive only if the federal government offers financial aid.Despite that.Savage and the Social Credit government strongly support the agreement.FACE CHALLENGE “It really gives farmers an opportunity over the next 20 years to see if they can be competitive,” says Savage.Others have a different view.“As a Canadian, I am really concerned that we seem to be prepared to give up food production for some ridiculous industrial benefit under the free-trade agreement,” says Ralph Towsley, secretary manager of the vegetable marketing commission.“I am concerned that we don’t have a national food policy intended to make the best use of our agricultural land, particularly for British Columbia where we have the best climate and the best land in the country.” Jim Alcock, a marketing specia- list for the provincial Agriculture ' Ministry, says the face of the market will change as tariffs dK sappear and farmers switch crops during the adjustment period.He says a 15-per-cent change in .potato supplies can mean as much as a 300- to 400-per-cent price difference for consumers.Neither Towsley nor Gerald Geen, president of the fruit growers association, is optimistic Ottawa will provide much help for their members.Geen says the major problem with an aid package is that produ cers must prove they have suffered financially from free trade before they are eligible for help.expansion of port promise prosperity for wealthy Gabon Gabon has oil reserves estimated at 1 billion barrels, but Norman predicted they will double.Production now is 176,000 to 180,000 barrels a day from offshore fields, Norman said.Rabi-Kounga production won’t begin before the middle of 1989, when it is initially expected to provide 80,000 barrels daily.The fall in the price of oil early this decade had left Gabon unable to pay its bills.But western creditors have rescheduled much of its debt of $2.4 billion Cdn until Rabi-Kounga money starts flowing.At the same time, Bongo slashed government spending by 50 per cent and cut civil servant salaries.Private employees were required to lend the government three per cent of their salaries over an 18-month period.SITUATION GOOD “You know how the human situation is,” said Jean Ping, Bongo's chief of staff.“Because we had the reputation of being the richest country in Africa, our economic problems received much atten- tion.But we are still in a very, very good situation when you compare us with others.” The country’s minimum wage of $244 Cdn a month has attracted more than 180,000 people from other African countries.“Despite current difficulties, Gabon’s oil resources, relative prosperity, economic and political orientation, and good ties with the United States make it an attractive partner for American businesses,” says the latest U.S.Embassy economic report on Gabon, The new railroad is seen as a boon for exports.Before the railway, the only transport between Libreville, the capital, and the mining region was by air.Travelling by car or truck could take 40 days because roads often are washed out by heavy rains.BEGAN IN 1973 The World Bank refused to finance the railway project, on which construction began in 1973, saying it was too difficult, too expensive and would never pay for Water problems?Oes — for a reliable water supply and trouble-free water system • Free estimate • Guaranteed 5 years • Water analysis & treatment the water man Walter Oes 514-243-6454 itself.Bongo pushed ahead with private financing, and it opened Dec.31, 1986.“People sometimes don’t understand the importance of the railway,” Ping said.“Before independence (from France in 1960) the country was like three separate bodies.How can you build a nation if you don’t have the feeling of belon ging to a community.Countries start with railways.” Bongo created a one-party state 20 years ago.He was vice-president then became president Nov.28, 1967, on the death of President Leon M ’Ba.Three months later, Bongo created the Gabon Democratic party as the nation’s sole political party, on grounds that the previous multiparty system had resulted in violent political campaigns and one coup attempt that failed only after Career French intervention.The U.S.Embassy’s humait ; rights report on Gabon says that * although no criticism of the president is allowed and advocacy of a multiparty state is banned, the ¦ president’s power is limited by “the diffusion of power through 45 cabinet level officials.“This group of 45 includes representatives of all the country’s ma jor ethnic groups, geographic, and political groups.Through this me chanism, Gabon’s varied interest groups are heard, given access to political patronage, and consulted on national resource distribution.” In May, the government television resumed a program in which cabinet ministers appear weekly and take questions from journalists and telephone callers.During a previous run of the show.Bongo himself was known to call in and ask questions.Ultramar Canada

plus willingness to play in clubs as well as spades So West bid three clubs, and now North’s three hearts ended the auction Declarer put in dummy’s spade jack at trick one East won the queen, led a low club to partner’s queen, won the next spade and cashed the club ace.That was four tricks for the defense, and now came a low spade Knowing that West could ruff, declarer trumped with the queen He then cashed the heart king and played a heart to dummy When West followed with the nine, he rose with the ace in dummy.Down one Declarer’s play was the right percentage play — but only if it were in a
