VERY HOT DAVID CASTONOUAY A D S ELEMENTARY SaKXIl Paradis still trying for C'ville group home after turndown Births, deaths .7 Classified .8 Comics .9 Editorial .4 Farm & Business .5 Living .6 Sports .11 Townships.3 "We can get you a nonsmoking seat on the flight to Hong Kong”.By Melanie Gruer SHERBROOKE — A proposed group residence for homeless anglophone youths still has a fighting chance despite a turn-down for this year, says the office of MNA Pierre Paradis.While money for the home was not included in this year’s provincial budget, riding representative Dario Marzialli says Paradis’ office is looking into having a one-year operating budget approved for the home.A request for the nine-bed group home, which would be located in the Cowansville area, went before the provincial Treasury Board this spring.But the proposal was part of a larger one pointing out the need for several anglophone ser- vice projects.Treasury Board refused, and it was back to the drawing board for supporters of the project.HILLS GET MONEY Group home committee member Michael Caluori, a Richelieu Social Services social worker who spearheaded the project, says the committee is disappointed the plan was not included in the current budget.“We were disappointed especially when large sums of money are being given to ski hills.Granted, some of them are loans.” Caluori said he wasn’t against economic growth ski hills generate but that the committee was asking for “a measly $250,000 for a problem that has existed for nine years.” Caluori said in an interview Tuesday he believes a nine-bedroom group home in the Cowansville area would help ease overcrowding in Montreal homes and reception centres for homess young people.Anglo homes in Montreal have a big enough problem dealing with their own children, let alone all of the off-island children, he said.Troubled youths from outlying areas such as the Eastern Townships must sometimes be placed more than 100 miles away from home because there is a lack of facilities here for Enlgish-speaking youths.SHUTTLED The government currently spends $1.5 million annually transporting youths who cannot live in their uw a homes from reception centre to reception centre until they are permanently placed.Ca luori wants that $1.5 million spent on setting up a home in Cowansville so area youths can be placed closer to home.“This so called government of no waste’ which has brought the deficit down wants to continue wasting $1.5 million, " he said.PROBLEM STILL THERE Brome-Missisquoi MNA and Minister of Municipal Affairs Paradis has said the group home is a “number one priority” for the area.Marzialli said Paradis is working hard to get $250,000 to cover the first year’s costs for the home.The Ministry of Health and Social Services has also deemed the group home a priority.Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Wednesday, July 6,1988 40 cents “The problem hasn't gone away and it hasn’t reduced itself," Caluori said.He said he believes that if the request for a group home had been presented to the Treasury Board as a problem for the Monte-regie area, it would have been more successful.Caluori said because the government is trying to give more money for health and social services in the Monterégie, the group home might have been included in the budget under funding for Monte-régie.But despite Caluori’s disappointment at not seeing a green light for the group home, he said he still hopes the project will eventually come through.“It’s not a closed door," he said “It’s just a matterof time.” To determine necessity of investigation ICAO will meet on Iranian jet downing By Don Macdonald MONTREAL (CP) — The International Civil Aviation Organization will hold a special meeting of its 33-member governing council to discuss the downing of an Iranian passenger jetliner by a U.S.warship, the Iranian representative to the organization said Tuesday.A spokesman refused to confirm that a meeting has been scheduled but said an announcement wdl be mac All Akbar Golrounia said Iran wants the council to condemn the United States for breaking international law by shooting down the plane Sunday.He said the council will also decide whether to call an emergency session of the full 157-member organization to debate the incident.The council will also decide whether to send a team to investigate the incident.Iran has said all 290 people on board the Iran Air A320 Airbus were killed when it was struck by at least one missile fired by the U.S.S.Vincennes over the Persian Gulf.“We want the council to condemn this brutal act of the United States,” said Golrounia in an interview, adding he didn’t know when the meeting would be held.The United States has expressed regret over the shooting down of the plane but said it was not on its prescribed course, ignored repeated warnings from the ship and used a radio frequency used by Iranian military aircraft.In Ottawa, federal Trade Minister John Crosbie said the government supports the calling of a special ICAO session.For a special meeting to be held, a majority of the members of the council must agree.: today.“The act of the United States is a violation of the laws of civil aviation,” said Golrounia.The Montreal-based agency of the United Nations sets worldwide standards and practices for the civil aviation industry.Delegates and hundreds of bureaucrats from member countries run the organization from a downtown office tower.Golrounia said the United States has been breaking international civil aviation law since another American ship, the U.S.S.Stark, was hit by a missile from an Iraqi jet last year, killing 37 people.For example, he said civilian aircraft have been diverted from their routes, increasing the likelihood of tragedy.“This incident was the natural consequence of this policy." The organization called a special session of the full assembly in 1983 after the Soviet Union shot down a Korean Air Lines passenger plane with the loss of 269 lives.The member nations did not condemn the Soviet Union but said military force should never be used against civilian aircraft.In October 1983, the assembly asked five member countries to establish a team to investigate the incident.They concluded pilot error was the cause of the disaster.Reagan pleads for Tehran to help end Gulf war WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.President Ronald Reagan, in a diplomatic overture following the U.S.downing of an Iranian jetliner, urged Tehran to work with the United States to end the Persian Gulf war, it was disclosed Tuesday.Reagan’s message, sent Sunday through Swiss intermediaries, expressed “deep regret” that a U.S.warship shot down the Iran Air passenger plane earlier that day over the gulf with 290 people aboard.“It was not an intentional act,” Reagan said in the message, which was made available at the White House and the State Department.But even while the president called the attack by the Vincennes on the Iran Air Airbus A300 an accident, U.S.officials have delayed a decision on paying compensation to the victims of the disaster.They will wait at least until a U.S.navy team completes an investigation, which should take about two weeks.Presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater called the inquiry the “first order of business.” A senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said “we have not made a decision’’ and that neither Iran nor the families of the victims have made any claims.Meanwhile, at the Pentagon, chief spokesman Dan Howard said the Iranian airliner had been broadcasting a radio identification signal on a frequency used only by military aircraft.This lead the skipper of the Vincennes to believe his ship faced attack.The Pentagon sent an investigating team to the warship Tuesday to sort through conflicting computer records.These included a report by another U.S.ship in the gulf that said the jetliner was flying above 3.650 metres rather than at about 2.100 metres when it was shot down.Howard said the Iranian aircraft was broadcasting in two modes.One was a “common identifier for both military and civilian aircraft, used in air traffic control,” he said.“It was also sending signals on a military mode, Mode-2.And the signals that the Vincennes was receiving from that aircraft were signals that we had previously identified or associated with an F-14’’ jet fighter.“No commercial airliners use Mode-2,” Howard said.Lawyers at the Defence and State departments were researching U.S.statutes before making their recommendations to Reagan on compensation.The president will make the decision in tandem with Congress because of the implications.” Moreover, any compensation would be so substantial that Congress would have to provide the money, the State Department official said.Full flutterboard ahead!

Grant Simeon.Flutteroverboard.Like many of her friends at the North Hatley Club, Berger and Guilbault eye Johnston riding MONTREAL (CP) — Two Liberal MPs whose Montreal ridings are slated to disappear expressed strong interest Tuesday in running for Donald Johnston’s seat.“I need a riding,” said MP David Berger, whose Laurier riding will disappear from a redesigned electoral map.And Jacques Guilbault, who will see about 45 per cent of his St-Jacques riding absorbed into Johnston’s St-Henri-Westmount riding, said many of his constituents have urged him to run in St-Henri-Westmount.“I owe it to these people to think about it seriously,” Guilbault said in an interview.Johnston said Monday he will not seek re-election in Saint-Henri-Westmount because he disagrees strongly with Liberal Leader John Turner’s support of the Meech Lake constitutional deal.Johnston, who has been sitting as an independent Liberal in the House of Commons since January, said he is unwilling to run as an independent because nonaligned politicians wield little power in the parliamentary system.Tories pull out language bill proposals OTTAWA (CP) — Three dissident Tory MPs eased the battle over language a little on Tuesday by withdrawing 25 proposed changes they made in a last-ditch effort to derail new bilingualism legislation.But four other backbenchers stepped into the void and each proposed a new amendment to Bill C-72, which amends the 19-year-old Official Lanauages Act to increase bilingual services in the federal government.Last week, 14 disgruntled MPs — QUEBEC (CP) — If a copper coffin found last week beneath the Quebec Basilica contains the remains of Samuel de Champlain, it will mark the end of a centuries-old mystery surrounding the founder of New France.Historians and archeologists in this city founded by Champlain in 1608, are in a state of excitement since Rene Levesque, an amateur archeologist, dug up a coffin made of copper, wood and mortar in the basilica’s basement.They’ll learn in a few days whether the provincial government and the church will allow them to open the coffin.Near the coffin, Levesque found remains of clothing from the early days of the colony and a 1633 or 1635 French coin featuring the head of LouisXIII.Because of the richness of the coffin and the prestige of its burial spot, experts agree it likely contains the remains of an important figure.Levesque also discovered remains of two other skeletons in the vicinity, apparently disturbed by earlier church renovations, which would conform to records that say two Champlain's friends were buried beside him in 1642.The discovery was “like catching a big fish,” Levesque said in an interview Tuesday.Levesque, a researcher with the dubbed dinosaurs by the opposition — proposed 136 amendments to the bill, which they think discrimi nates against people who speak only English.An embarrassed government moved to quell the dissent Monday, reaching an agreement with the opposition to wrapup C-72 today and Thursday and send it to the Senate.With the withdrawals and additions, the Commons will face 115 amendments during that debate.Vancouver M P Chuck Cook withdrew all 13 of his amendments; Jack Scowen, MP for the Northrn provincial government, has been looking for Champlain’s grave for 40 years.EXTRAORDINARY LIFE Champlain died on Christmas Day 1635 at the age of 65, after an extraordinary life of exploration, mapping and colonizing as far west as the Great Lakes.A chapel built over his grave was destroyed by fire, then rebuilt.The Champlain chapel was referred to in land documents until 1664 and the widening of Buade Street, adjacent to the basilica, said Levesque.Then, references vanished from official records.Enter Thomas O’Leary, an ama teur historian, who in 1894 published in a local newspaper the results of a study on the long lost tomb of Champlain.Through painstaking study of archival documents, O’Leary concluded by a process of elimination that Champlain was buried beneath the chapel of St.Joseph in the Quebec Basilica.Levesque heard about O’Leary’s theory when a friend unearthed the newspaper article while doing research.But would they let him, an amateur archeologist, dig beneath the church?For two years, Levesque didn't approach the authorities.Then Jean Poulin, an old school friend Saskatchewan riding of Mackenzie, seven of 10, and Moncton, N.B., MP Dennis Cochrane five of nine, according to the daily outline of future Commons business.Scowen said he withdrew some of his amendments because they were minor As well, he said, backbenchers who have proposed “amendments that are ridiculous” have come under some pressure to drop the amendments, “but I haven’t had anybody over here with a whip yet.” grave would from the 1950s, became the priest in charge of the basilica.Poulin told him to start digging.When the story broke Saturday of the discovery of the coffin, provincial authorities were quick to condemn Levesque for excavating without a permit “We didn’t feel we needed a permit because it was disturbed ground,” said Levesque, referring MONTREAL (CP) - Some people may think Pierre Trudeau has already paid his dues to the Liberal party.Maybe he does too.The former prime minister is among more than 20,000 federal Liberals in Quebec who have not paid their $5 membership fee this year.“I am sure he simply forgot to renew,” said Louis Girard, party spokesman for Quebec."If he were planning to leave the party, he probably would have made a public announcement about it.” Trudeau was unavailable for comment.But Nicole Loiselle, a Liberal official in the St-Henri- Cochrane could not be reached for comment, but Cook said he withdrew his amendments after he learned those proposed by other MPs would effectively repeal existing bilingualism laws.“I want a fair bill, 1 want an honest bill, but I certainly cannot be associated with people who are proposing amendments of that kind,” Cook said in an interview.He also said pressure was applied to dissidents in a flurry of weekend phone calls, including one from a cabinet minister, whom he did not identify.end mystery to church renovations which had broken the earth near the coffin.The challenge remains: how to identify any skeleton found in the coffin.“Usually, there is an inscription in lead on the inside of the coffin for important people,” said Levesque.“For Bishop (Francois de Montmorency) Laval, the colony’s first bishop, there was one.” Westmount riding where Trudeau lives, said he may not be familiar with new party membership regulations.“The party created two- and three-year memberships in addition to the one-year cards,” Loiselle said Because his card was good for one year longer than he was accustomed to, Trudeau probably forgot about it, said Loiselle.“This kind of thing happens routinely to about 25 per cent of our riding’s membership," she said, adding that her association will likely form a telephone committee to remind members that they should pay up.Uncovering Champlain’s Maybe Trudeau simply forgot to pay his dues 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, July 6, 1988 Quebecers biggest ticket buyers ‘Lottery’ tax like alcohol and tobacco taxes hit poor real hard By Eric Beauchesne OTTAWA (CP) — The provinces may be as addicted to lotteries as tfce players, a Canadian Tax Journal article suggests.Lotteries are a tax and, along with those on tobacco and booze, are the most regressive taxes levied by the provinces, says the article, appearing in the latest edition of the Canadian Tax Foundation publication.Yet lotteries have become big money-makers for the provinces, generating an increasing amount of revenue each year, rising to almost $700 million in 1984.Only tobacco taxes are more regressive, say the article’s authors, Francois Vaillancourt, a Universi- ty of Montreal economics professor and Julie Grignon, a postgraduate economics student at the university.A tax is considered regressive when it hits the poor proportionately as hard or harder than it hits the rich.The authors also show that provincial governments are becoming increasingly dependent on revenues from lotteries and predict that lotteries, which now account for 0.64 per cent of all provincial revenues, will eventually account for one per cent.Vaillancourt and Grignon, as have others, argue that government lotteries are in effect a tax, similar to an excise tax or retail sales tax.While lottery tickets are a non-essential purchase, they note that so are purchases of alcohol, tobacco and a number of other taxable goods and services such as restau-rant meals and home-entertainment equipment.“Indeed, lottery tickets are more widely purchased than tobacco products,” they say.In 1984, Canadians spent almost $2.2 billion on lottery tickets, almost 400 per cent more than the amount spent in 1976, the first year that there were a full slate of provincial lotteries, the article says.In 1984, lottery winners collected $1.04 billion in prizes, while provincial governments hauled in $698 million in revenue from ticket sales.Of Canadians, Quebecers were the biggest lottery-ticket buyers, spending on average 1.24 per cent of their income on lottery tickets, while those in Western Canada spent the least, 0.5 per cent.But in all regions, the poor spent a greater portion of their income on lottery tickets than did the rich.And in Ontario and Western Canada, the lottery “tax” was even more regressive, the article states, because provincial lottery revenue is spent in the field of the arts, health and sports, which other studies have shown “tend to favor the high-income groups.” A breakdown of spending on lot- tery tickets into 10 income groups shows that the poorest 10 per cent spent 0.5 per cent of their income on lottery tickets.That proportion declines as incomes rise, with the richest 10 per cent spending only 0.2 per cent.Former federal sports minister Otto Jelinek, in announcing the federal government was getting out of the lottery business four years ago, conceded that lotteries are “a tax on the poor, perhaps even an immoral way of collecting taxes.” And Havi Echenberg, executive director of the National Antipoverty Organization, said in an interview that “when I talk to low-income people it’s pretty clear they all buy lottery tickets,” though so do people who aren’t poor.But the organization has never taken a stand on the issue.“It’s probaby still seen as a voluntary tax,” Echenberg said.For many, it probaby is a voluntary tax.However, gambling, like alcohol and tobacco, is an addiction for some and for those the tax is not voluntary.A 1985 Ontario government poll indicated that more than 60 per cent believed that buying lottery tickets is addictive.Yet it also indicated that 70 per cent support lotteries, though most said it took money away from those that could least afford it.Senators, NFB end war ^0W5.j|"|_t)nQf over Billy Bishop film OTTAWA (CP) — The Senate and ';^he National Film Board appear to ' have finally settled their four-year battle over a film about First World War flying ace Billy Bishop.Senator Jack Marshall—“with a sense of some relief” — tabled Tuesday the final report of his committee’s inquiry into the film The Kid Who Couldn’t Miss.The veterans’ affairs committee obtained new information refuting parts of the film and the film board has agreed to add a new, more detailed disclaimer at the beginning of the movie.Thousands of war veterans wanted “and I wanted, and I still want, the NFB to withdraw The Kid Who Couldn’t Miss because it is an historically inaccurate film that does not tell the truth about a significant individual Canadian,” Marshall told the Senate.But veterans will have to resign themselves to the fact that the film Won’t be withdrawn, he said, adding in an interview: “I think we did everything we can.” He said he is pleased with the film board’s decision last year to produce a new documentary on Canada’s role in aviation during the First World War.The film, titled Aces, will likely be released by early 1990.Film board spokesman Mireille Kermoyan said the new disclaimer doesn’t mean the film board has caved in to Senate pressure.It is jhst more detailed than the pre- vious one, which simply relabelled the film a docu-drama instead of a documentary, she said.“For us the dossier is closed because both parties agreed to what has been decided,” Kermoyan said in an interview.The Kid, released in 1983, suggests Bishop faked a 1917 raid on a German aerodrome, a feat for which he won the Victoria Cross.Senators were particularly incensed over dramatized sections of the film in which a character playing Walter Bourne, Bishop’s mechanic, voices doubts about Bishop’s war record.Senators have been examining the film since 1984 and submitted a report in 1986 saying parts of the film should be deleted and a disclaimer added at the beginning.The board added a toned-down disclaimer relabelling the film a docu-drama and saying it contained dramatized segments.Senators didn’t like that and continued their study, obtaining a letter written by Bourne that shows he believed Bishop’s record.“He is the mightiest pilot living today,” Bourne wrote in a letter written about 1952.“There has been no one to touch his score not even in the last war.” And Robert Bradford, associate director of the National Aviation Museum which has the same type of plane Bishop flew, said it was highly improbable for Bishop to fake the raid by landing his plane.Broadbent: Free trade risks very idea of Canada OTTAWA (CP) — Canadians will have to give up some of the best things about their country and embrace the worst aspects of the United States under the proposed free-trade deal, NDP Leader Ed Broad-bent said Tuesday.Basic Canadian values, such as regional development and universal medicare, will have to be traded for single-minded pursuit of the dollar, he said."What is at risk is the very idea erf Canada,” the New Democratic Party chief told the Commons in the dying hours of debate on second reading of the Conservatives’ free-trade legislation.Bill C-130 would change 27 federal statues to conform with the sweeping trade agreement, which would begin breaking down border restrictions on trade between the two countries beginning Jan.1., Broadbent said the United States ^as become obsessed with the idea Tjpf the marketplace to the point Where fundamental religions have become big businesses and medical care is a commodity that can be ¦bought and sold.During a trip New York recently, Broadbent related, he went to a play where a $7,000-dollar watch was advertised.“I walked out of theatre and I saw women lying in the streets with blankets over them.They may want that kind of America, with the rich getting richer and the poor poorer, but we reject that I’ll tell you.” He called the United States a social wasteland where 12 million children don’t have access to medicare.“Canada has marched to the tune of a different drummer,” Broadbent said in his half-hour speech.On Monday, the Conservatives used their massive majority to pass a motion making Tuesday the fifth and final day of debate on the principle of the legislation.A vote on second reading is scheduled for today.Broadbent said Canada simply won’t be able to hold on to its values if its forced to compete head-to-head with U.S.business.—_____fagl ifccara George MacLaren, Publisher.Randy Kinnear, Assistant Publisher.Charles Bury, Editor.Lloyd G.Schelb,

giant downtown facility for several hours Tuesday.Nobody was injured but one firefighter was briefly overcome by the powerful gas.Eight fire trucks were sent to the brewery after a pipe burst, spewing liquid ammonia onto the floor.The plant was evacuated immediately.While production continued at the brewery’s bottling and canning plant across the street, firefighters washed down the ammonia and the building was aired out.Controversial youth judge resigns ST-J E ROM E, Que.(CP) — A controversial juvenile court judge has temporarily stepped down after local social service officials filed a request that she be disciplined.Judge Andree Ruffo attracted attention last yea r when she sent a 16-year-old boy to the office of Social Affairs Minister Therese Lavoie-Roux because there was no group home available for him.That decision aroused the minister’s ire and Quebec Superor Court later ruled that Ruffo had acted too quickly.She also decided that a 14-year-old should get an abortion despite objections from a youth protection agency, a decision that prompted the head of the agency to promise a fight.Prisoners watching porn flics STE-ANNE-DES-PLAINES, Que.(CP) - Prison guards say convicts at three prisons are regularly shown pornographic films including one that depicted an inmate sodomizing and beating a woman guard in a prison cell.The guards’ union has protested the regular showing of porn films, including the explicit film shown June 11 at the Archambault maximum-security jail.The union says the films are creating tension between guards and prisoners.The prison complex also includes medium-and minimum-security prisons where the films are also shown.An official with Correctional Service Canada said she wasn’t aware of the film and was surprised it had slipped past the censor board.Therese Gascon said prisoners have access to all videos available to the public and are allowed to choose two or three films a week, including erotic movies.Grape growers get less than half OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government has proposed a $70-million compensation program for Ontario grape growers, but that is less than half the money the growers need to reduce production as a result of the proposed free trade deal with the United States, says Liberal MP Maurice Foster.Under the deal, the federal governnment would pay $35 million and the Ontario government $35 million.However, the provincial government won’t pay its share, Foster said in an interview, because Ontario won’t take part in any compsensation programs made necessary by a deal it opposes.Raising bread prices is a no-no OTTAWA (CP) — Any move by bakers or food processors to raise bread prices because of the drought on the Prairies would be unwarranted and unconscionable, the Commons was told Tuesday.Analysts have predicted the western grain crop could be halved by the drought and the president of the Grocery Products Manufacturers Association says bread prices will increase four cents for every dollar a bushel lise in the price of wheat.“If it conceivably doubles, we could see a 10-cent rise in (the cost of) a loaf of bread easily,” George Fleischmann said in an interview Monday.The price of top quality red spring wheat used domestically has jumped by about one-third in the last month to $257 a tonne.Back copies of The Record are available at the following prices: Copies ordered

which has ravaged parts of the Prairies all spring.Stunted crops and dusty fields could still come back if there’s heavy rain soon.But time is running out.In central Alberta, there was more rain after a weekend of thunderstorms and Alberta farmers are cautiously optimistic about harvesting an average crop.Can’t sue for political promises TORONTO (CP) — A politician’s campaign promise should be taken with a grain of salt, a provincial court judge has concluded.Judge Pamela Thomson made the statement in dismissing a lawsuit against Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservative party for negligent misrepresentation.John Ruffolo, a Kitchener, Ont., salesman, said he voted Conservative after Mulroney promised in the 1984 election campaign to improve postal service and not to accept free trade with the United States.Ruffolo decided to sue, saying Mulroney had failed to deliver on his promises.Thomson, in a recent written judgment, said promises from an election candidate simply reflect an intention to do whatever possible “within the concepts of the parliamentary system and the limits of party discipline.” The judge said that a statement of intention is often “mere puffery” in an election campaign.Vets should get cash next year NEW YORK (AP) — U.S.and Canadian Vietnam war veterans who maintain they were harmed by exposure to the herbicide Agent Orange could begin to receive cash and other assistance from a $240-million US settlement fund by early next year.Judge Jack Weinstein set into motion allocation of the settlement money after the U.S.Supreme Court last week removed the last legal obstacle in the lengthy Agent Orange litigation.The class-action suit, initiated in 1978, was settled in May 1984 when seven chemical companies that manufactured Agent Orange agreed to pay $180 million.The fund has grown to $240 million through interest during the appeals process.Gander survivors get settlement LOUISVILLE, Ky.(AP) — An average settlement of $663,000 each has been reached with the survivors of 57 of the soldiers killed in the 1985 Arrow Air crash in Gander, Nfld., the Louisville Courier-Journal reported today.The estates of eight other soldiers were paid $1 million or more, said the newspaper, which examined cases settled since January 1987.The Dec.12, 1985, crash at Gander killed all aboard, including eight crew members and 248 troops.The soldiers, members of the 101st Airborne Division, were returning to the U.S.after six months in the Middle East.All 130 lawsuits filed in U.S.District Court for western Kentucky have been settled.Only one case, in Florida, is waiting for trial.Greenpeace choses wrong mill Queen hears from homosexuals THUNDER BAY, Ont.(CP) — Two Greenpeace members climbed halfway up a 100-metre smokestack at Canadian Pacific Forest Products Ltd.and unfurled a banner Tuesday that says Dioxin Kills.But an Ontario government spokesman says the members of the environmental group chose a pulp and paper mill that does not discharge dioxin into Lake Superior.Norm Opegard,38, of Minneapolis, Minn., and Alan Asher-MacFarlane, 27, of Montreal went into the Thunder Bay mill early Tuesday and climbed 50 metres up the giant smokestack to a platform.N.B.erases loans and advances FREDERICTON (CP) — More red ink has been added to New Brunswick’s bank book.The provincial government has written off several loans and advances worth $170.2 million.That means the province’s net debt now is a whopping $2.6 billion and each man, woman in child in the small Maritime province owes about $3,600.Finance Minister Allan Maher said the rise in the debt is nothing to worry about.He told reporters at a news conference on Tuesday the increase is simply an accounting adjustment recommended earlier this year following an external audit of the province s books.Meese plans to resign SACRAMENTO, Calif.(AP)-U.S.Attorney General Edwin Meese announced Tuesday he plans to resign this summer even though a 14-month investigation into his personal ethics “fully vindicates” him.He said he expects to leave office at the end of this month or early in August and no successor has been determined.He has served at the Justice Department since March 1985.Meese took the step after independent counsel James McKay filed his report on the investigation into Meese’s conduct in office.The 830-page report, filed with a federal court, wasn’t made public.Sources said it was critical of Meese but concluded there was no basis for filing a criminal indictment.Meese said he had remained in his post until now because he refused “to allow myself to be hounded out of office by false accusations.” AMSTERDAM (Reuter) — Queen Elizabeth faced scores of angry homosexuals Tuesday during a royal visit aimed at underscoring 300 years of British-Dutch friendship.The demonstrators, protesting a new British law that bans local authorities from promoting homosexuality, banged pots and pans and blew whistles to drown out a band greeting the Queen and Prince Philip in the city’s Dam Square.The protesters shouted “It’s OK to be gay!” and “Say no to clause 28!,” the new law.Unprecedented security measures surrounded the visit, which comes two months after three off-duty British soldiers were killed in the Netherlands by Irish guerrillas.The Dam Square area was closed to traffic and police perched on rooftops, monitoring the movements of the protesters through binoculars.Hamadi refuses to take part FRANKFURT, West Germany (AP) — A recess was called Tuesday in the trial of a Lebanese man accused in the 1985 hijacking of a TWA airliner, after he refused to take part in the first day of proceedings.Mohammed Ali Hamadi, who is charged with murder and air-piracy, cited disputes over his interpreter and his legal representation for his refusal to participate.“I don’t say anything important until we have an interpreter,” he said in broken German.The trial is scheduled

Lebanon.There was no way of verifying the statement, relayed by an anonymous caller to Beirut’s Muslim Voice of the Homeland radio station.“We shall kill an American hostage at 20:00 p.m.(1 p.m.EDT) and dump his body in Ramlet al-Baida,” the caller said.The caller gave no reason, but the statement came two days after a U.S.warship shot down an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people aboard.Islamic Jihad holds two Americans — Terry Anderson, Middle East correspondent for The Associated Press, and Thomas Sutherland, acting dean of agriculture at the American University

#¦_______ i»6Cora Dry weather followed by string of record lows Hot-and-cold month of June leaves cereal crops struggling to catch up By Craig Pearson ASCOT TOWNSHIP — This year’s Eastern Townships harvest will generally be a few days late — if not longer — due to June’s three-week drought, says an expert from the Agriculture Canada research station near Lennoxville.“Because it was so dry in June, the harvest will probably be a little bit late in comparison to the average year,” agronomist Camille Fernet said Tuesday.“But if the conditions to come remain normal.I think we will get almost as much quantity from the harvest as is normal.” bince the last week of June we’ve had a fair amount of rain,” Fernet said."So that lets us balance the soil’s humidity.” Weather through the beginning of June made headlines because it was hot and un-naturally dry for so long.As Fernet said, “Leaves started drying in mid-June" after three weeks of rain-free weather.At the time, some speculated that crops might die almost completelv.WORRIES OVER?But Fernet says as long as Mother Nature keeps the Townships’ climate normal, the worrying is mostly over.“The plants are doing well.They're developing nicely, though they’ve lost a bit of time," he said.Some worse than others.Agriculture Canada grows various types of produce on roughly 600 acres of land at the Lennoxville experimental station.Fernet said that by watching what happens to crops on Agriculture Canada terrain, he can speculate what will happen to other farmers’ produce in the Townships.Corn, he says, will flourish nicely.Hay, though the regrowth for the second cutting started a little slow, should also be fine.In fact, he said the dry hot weather was ideal for harvesting hay because it dried out quickly and because rain didn’t ruin any that was left out.GRAIN CROPS Fernet is concerned about various cereal crops.Things like wheat, rye, oats and barley "were affected more," he said.He said he expects "at least " a 20 per cent reduction in cereal crop yields this year, And he said the cereal crop harvest could be as low as 40 per cent less than average.According to meteorologist Marcel Saumure at the Environment Canada weather office in Sherbrooke, June saw 259.7 sun hours, slightly more than the average of 245,7.But most of the sun came during the first three weeks of June.The overall precipitation level in June was 74.55 milimetres, compared with 110.3 last year The average rainfall for June is 108.6 mm.June ’63 holds the record for lowest amount of rainfall with 28 4 mm while June "74 holds the record for most rainfall with 171.2 THREE DRY WEEKS The summer rainfall total looks better when 30 mm of rain July 1 and about 10 mm July 2 are added.But consider that only six mm fell between June 1 and 21 and you realize how dry those three critical weeks were.Ironically, more record lows were recorded in June than record highs.June 15 set a record with32.6 degrees Celsius, the highest ever in the month of June.Other than that, all the newly created records were for low temperatures.June 29 set a record with a high of only 16.1 degrees, the lowest ever on that date.Same goes for June 30.with its 14.3 degree high.On June 24.the temperature dipped to a minimum of 2.4 degrees, the lowest ever on that date And on J une 29 thermometers dropped almost to the freezing point 1.7 degrees, also the lowest ever on that date.Council wants to lose.Then comes Number Two.Brome Lake court case Number One goes ahead: Route 243 will have to wait By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — A first quiet victory has been won by opponents to the Route 243 bypass as Quebec Superior Court Justice Jean-Louis Péloquin has ruled that a court action by a Brome Lake citizen attempting to stop the re-routing is well founded in law.But the final outcome of the complicated court saga of the Route 243 bypass may not be known for another year or so, when the case itself is finally heard, says town of Brome Lake lawyer Thomas Lavin The saga started on the eve of last November’s municipal election when Brome Lake council pas- Marc Decelles.Case against town can go ahead.> ' m sed a resolution to allow then Mayor Home Blackwood to sign a deal with Maurice Pinsonneault, promoter of the Auberge du Lac Brome condominiums, to re-route the road behind the development.The first of two court cases stemming from the decision pits citizen Marc Decelles (no relation to Mayor Gilles Decelles) against the town and the condo promoters.He is asking to court to overturn both the resolution and the contract.INJUNCTION TOO But Decelles also asked for an injuction to stop construction from going ahead until the case is heard.During a hearing last month Decelles’ lawyer Alfred Bélisle argued that the town had to proceed by a bylaw and not by resolution in order to sign authorize the contract.Pinsonneault’s lawyer Jean Pomminville argued that a binding contract didn’t exist between the promoter and the town.Therefore Pomminville asked for a motion to dismiss the case, saying it was not founded in law.Justice Péloquin refused the motion in a decision handed down on June 29.In his ruling Justice Péloquin said that for the town to proceed by resolution certain conditions had to be met, Lavin said in an interview.The town must have designated funds to carry out the work in its budget or a grant must have been guaranteed by the government.Justice Péloquin said these conditions w'ere not met and therefore the town should have used a bylaw.“In this case the condominiium promoter had undertaken to pay the costs,” Lavin said.“Then the town was supposed to get a grant and pay back the condos.” “If construction had started and the condos had gone bankrupt the town would have been left holding the ball,” he added, Lavin, a resident of West Brome, says the town should have introdu- SHERBROOKE (RL) — In order to avoid a possible referendum on the issue, Brome Lake town council is looking at as many solutions as possible for the extension of sewage and waterworks along Lakeside Road.Mayor Gilles Decelles said Tuesday that council will present alternatives to the rejected proposal to extend town sewage and waterworks to homes along Lakeside Road, Fisher’s Point and the Auberge du Lac Brome condomi- ced a bylaw, thereby allowing townspeople a say in the matter.Decelles’ lawyer Bélisle said last night he was pleased with the out come of the case.However, he declined further comment until he has read the decision.COUNCIL WANTS LOSS Ironically, although the town is being sued, the present council is hoping to lose.Although council may be bound by previous the council’s decisions, the councillors and mayor elected last November do not want the bypass to go through.Mayor Gilles Decelles said the town is not defending itself be- niums.He said the alternatives will be revealed at council’s meeting next Monday night.The borrowing bylaw was soundly rejected by Brome Lake residents.Some 511 of them showed up to register their disaproval to the plan which would have meant substantial tax increases to residents, especially those in the path of the extension.Only 462 signatures were needed to overide the decision.So council has the choice of holding a referendum or dropping the bylaw.cause council is “favorable to Marc Decelles case." Mayor Decelles said last night that although he hasn't seen the do eision either, he is pleased with Justice Péloquin’s decision."We are not fully reassured, but we think we made the right deci sion in not going ahead right away with the road,” Decelles said.Mayor Decelles admits the battle is not over.“1 guess Pinsonneault could still win in court," he said.SECOND CASE AWAITS The second court case regarding the re-routing is on hold awaiting the outcome of this one before it 12 ALTERNATIVES “We have reviewed 12 alterna lives and we will be scrutinizing government grants,” Mayor Decelles said in an interview.“We are going to do everything possible not to go to a referendum.” At a special council meeting two weeks ago councillors decided a referendum would be costly and divisive.They agreed to avoid it at all costs.Decelles says a new bylaw has not been drafted but council bason larged the scope of alternatives can be heard Pinsonneault’s company has asked Quebec Superior Court to void the Quebec Environment Mi nistry regulation requiring a second impact study before highway can be moved.Pinsonneault also tried to cover his bases — in case the courts decide in Marc Decelles favor.He has offered to pay for a greater share of the controversial extension of sewage and water works in exchange for the town allowing the bypass to go through.Mayor Decelles said last night that suggestion has been “discarded by council”.and is planning changes to reduce costs to taxpayers while still pro tecting the environment.New solutions range from a proposal similar to the one rejected but requiring more government grants, to a local sewage system at the condo site.“It’s not an easy issue,” Decelles said, “particularly when the people who are contributing to the project and signing the register are people who are not getting a direct advantage by it.” Council will choose from a dozen ideas Lakeside sewage debate flows on: New proposals next week 'These guys work on the fringe of

representative of Factory Mutual insurance, was on an inspection of an IBM plant in Bromont on July 1 when he passed out at the bottom of a compressed air tank.Parent entered the storage tank through a porthole and descended the ladder to the bottom of the 16 foot deep by eight foot wide tank when he dropped.A plant employee who was escor- tera Townships entrepreneurs.“They’ll pay between $100 and $500 to have their ad in a publication but they won’t get what they expect,” Landry said in an interview.Landry said the salesmen, who have only been in the area a little while as far as he knows, don’t usually include on the bill such statistics as what size the advertisement will be, when exactly it will run, and what exactly is the circulation of the publication.ting the inspector called for help and an IBM safety crew brought Parent to the floor level.He was revived with oxygen, then taken to Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital in Cowansville.He was sent to the CHUS in Sherbrooke because of the complex nature of his attack.He died on July 2.IBM personnel and public relations manager Jacques Baumier said authorities await results of an autopsy to determine the precise cause of death.The compressed air tank was made of steel.Baumier said he had He said there “usually is a publication — but not much.Sometimes it’s just flyers or a little pamphlet.It’s not worth it.” That’s what makes the situation touchy.The hustlers aren’t criminals, strictly-speaking.There’s no proof that laws are broken.“There’s no crime involved.I’ve spoken with people in Montreal,” said Landry, who

runs her year-old Martin House bed-and-breakfast business with her husband.She said in an interview that on June 10, she payed a charming travelling salesman from a company called Les Publications Artis Quebec Ltée.She spent $195 for a ‘A-page ad in a publication which she has yet to see called Guide touristique des villes et villages du Québec.She was told by the salesman that the magazine has circulation of 63,000 and is distributed free of charge to banks, hotels and restaurants.CHAPTER TWO A week and a half later, Martin says she was visited by two more salesman.One tried to sell her ad

law that all businesses advertise in the Bulletin delà planification fiscale, which the man said is only published every five years.“He was really intimidating,” Martin said.“All the time I was questioning him he was so intimidating — so I figured this must be it.It must be real.” She gave the man a check for $295.But when her husband came home and they checked the bill, they noticed the

law,” said Martin, who wants to warn others in the Townships not to waste their money.A neighboring bed and breakfast, Auberge Georgeville, was also approached by the salesmen, though their pitch didn’t work there.When Martin phoned Publications Artis in Montreal to complain about the pushy tactics and about the man allegedly telling her that according to the law she had to buy advertising in a publication, “they all seemed to have the approach of brushing you off.Like Why are you bothering me?’ ” Martin said she figures the sale-men all know each other and that after they found out she bought one ad, “they figured, ‘Let’s try the heavy-duty government scam on the lady’.” Speaking on behalf of ‘the fringe’, Publications Artis vice-president Gaby St-Marie said in a telephone interview “we’re not the government, that’s for sure.” Politely but curtly, he said he hadn’t heard of any of the company’s salesmen posing as government representatives and that all 30 of the company’s

Canadian politics is like wearing a straight jacket inside a pickle jar: an individual has no place to move.Under the parliamentary system of government and the principle of responsible government, as we have in Canada, political parties demand conformity.After all, it is through that conformity that leaders stay in power.Here’s some food for thought.Do you really think Pierre Trudeau had, or Brian Mulroney has, the full support of their caucuses?The answer is no.Party unity is enforced by a party whip.He entreches an ideology of conformity.This, in turn, restricts personal thought, ambition, and the whole idea of constituent representation by our elected officials.Sure all party members put on a brave face and claim all-is-well as they smile at the flashing cameras, but recent events tell a totally different story.Case in point: Donald Johnston.Johnston declared he will resign from politics in the upcoming election.After ten years in the political arena, Johnston has up-and-quit not because he has lost his passion, or because he has nothing left to fight for, but because he stood naked in the public eye and opposed the Liberal’s official position on the Meech Lake accord.In other words, he let his mind speak freely and promptly got his butt kicked out of the shadow cabinet, and Turner’s good-graces.Another similar case occured last week in British Columbia.Attorney General Brian Smith resigned his post after Social Credit Premier Bill Vander Zalm insisted on tampering with the neutrality of the provincial office.Yet another example of enforced conformity occured on Monday.Brian Mulroney’s government chose to restrict debate on the controversial Bill C-72, (the language bill).With the majority of all parties in agreement on C-72, Mulroney envoked closure in order to have it passed.With closure, Mulroney successfully silenced his party’s backbenchers who opposed the bill — a discreet message that backbenchers don’t have power of thought other than what Mulroney tells them.Canadian politics must allow room for the Johnstons and Smiths of the country.People who voice their differences of opinion and stand true to their personal — rather than party — conviction.Until that time let’s fasten those jackets real tight and break out the vinegar.SCOTT DAVID HARRISON Tinkertoys build molecular models PAWTUCKET, H I.(AP> — It's a simple toy conceived when a stonemason watched a group of children playing with sticks, pencils and empty thread spools.But since their introduction 75 years ago today.Tinker-toys have found their way into millions of toyboxes, chemistry labs and even industrial drawing boards “It’s a classic,” said Debbie Wager, who oversees the annual toy quality report from the liberal political action group Americans for Democratic Action.“There are not too many toys that have been around for three or four years — let alone 75.” Tinkertoys were introduced at the 1913 American Toy Fair by inventor Charles Pajeau of Evanston, 111., butit was a year before they caught on.In a 1914 publicity stunt so successful it halted traffic while motorists gawked, Pajeau hired midgets to dress up like Santa’s elves and play with Tinkertoys in a window of New' York’s Grand Central Station, according to A Toy is Born, by Marvin Kaye.Since then, more than 100 million Tinkertoy sets have found their way to the young and young-at-heart.Chemistry professors use them to make molecular models, Indiana Bell Telephone uses them to test management candidates and Lockheed Corp.used them for design models.STILL POPULAR Still, “it’s the children who continue to make the toy popular," said Wayne Charness, spokesman for Tinkertoy manufacturer Hasbro Inc., of Pawtucket.“It’s a great toy because kids can use their imagination with it and build anything they want,” said Wager, of the Washington-based lobby group.'They can take it apart and build something different with it 10 minutes later.” A youngster in 1913.87-year-old Myrtle Green of North Providence remembers playing with Tinkertoys when they were first introduced.“We used to make cars and houses and everything,” she said.After watching her children and grandchildren grow up playing with them, she says: "It keeps the kids busy and they enjoy it It keeps them quiet While Green and others may feel sentimental seeing their offspring play with the familiar toy, nostalgia doesn’t carry much weight with today's youngsters.STAYS AROUND “Little kids are pretty savvy,” Charness said “If they have done everything a toy has to offer the first few times they play with it, it will stay in the toy box.But if you provide a toy that’s going to challenge them every time they use it, that’s the toy you're going to have to pick up after them every time they play.” And what do children make with the multicolored wooden sticks and spools?“It could be nothing, it could be a helicopter, it could be the Eiffel Tower,” said Charness.Whatever it is, it “gives them a sense of accomplishment.” he said.Tinkertoys haven’t changed much over the years.First introduced in metal canisters, they were sold in boxes for a time until last year, when Hasbro returned to the original packaging, he said.In 1983, plastic pieces were added to allow for more construction possibilities, said Charness.About a million sets a year are sold, he said Intelligence works behind the scenes at airports A security net has been set up at Canadian airports to prevent terrorists, hijackers and crackpots from attackinfi planes.And some recent changes are not apparent to travellers.By Alex Binkley OTTAWA (CP) — The X-ray machines that scan passengers and their carry-on luggage for weapons or explosives are usually the only encounter people have with airport security.But there's much more to the safety net designed to keep terrorists, hijackers and crackpots from attacking airplanes.Depending on the destination of a flight and who is travelling on board, baggage may be sent through X-ray equipment and devices that detect vapor from explosives.As well, airports are supposed to keep unauthorized people out of passenger and luggage areas and aircraft parking zones.And the government is in the process of stationing RCMP officers at major airports to replace the special constables who now guard them.“We have to look at security of luggage and airport facilities as well as screening,” says John Rodocanachi, head of the Transport Department’s airport security branch.“These activities aren’t usually visible to the general public but are just as important as the screening of the passengers.” MORE INFORMED One change in airport security which travellers don’t see and will never learn much about is the increased co-operation among intelligence services in passing on information about individuals and organizations who might try to attack an airport or airline.“There has been a quantitative improvement in intelligence information in the last three or four years,” says Rodocanachi.With this information, police forces and airport officials know who to lookout for, he says.Canadian airports have a system to quickly spread an alert in the face of a threat.But Capt.Fred Deveaux of the Canadian Air Line Pilots Association says the effectiveness of the security alert system depends on the quality of intelligence being gathered by and supplied to Canadian security forces.Deveaux says there is a rivalry between the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service that could deter other countries from giving Canada vital information.“And if we’re not getting the information we should, we could miss a threat against an airport or airline.We have to have some idea of what threats are being made ” NO EVIDENCE A Transport official wouldn’t comment on any rivalry between the RCMP and the security service.But there was no evidence Canada was being denied intelligence because of foreign concerns.Though passengers are routinely X-rayed, their luggage isn’t.It is checked only if a threat is made against a particular flight or airline, or if the passengers include a person who might be the target of an attack.Says Rodocanachi: “It is hard to believe anyone could sit calmly on a flight for a couple of hours waiting for the plane to be blown up by a bomb in his suitcase.” Baggage matching is designed to prevent a terrorist from having his bomb-laden luggage put aboard a plane but not boarding himself.The system requires an airline to carry only luggage of the passengers who are on the plane.If a person checks luggage on a flight but doesn’t show for the trip, the airline is supposed to remove all luggage from the plane.The luggage is then claimed by the passengers and repacked.Unclaimed luggage is left behind to be examined.WASN’T DONE Some experts have said that baggage matching would have prevented the Air India disaster off Ireland in 1985, which is believed to have been caused by a bomb in the suitcase of a passenger who didn’t show up.It’s unclear why the baggage wasn’t matched Rodocanachi says work is under way to develop a bar coding system similar to the ones used by some grocery stores to price products at the checkout counter.A passenger’s ticket would have a bar code that would also be put on the luggage.If a passenger failed to show for a flight, his bar code would be identified and used to find and unload his lug- gage without unpacking the whole plane, a major inconvenience to other passengers.Baggage matching is mandatory on international and transborder flights but not on domestic ones “because we don’t see the threat,” Rodocanachi says.The secure areas of the airport, called sterilized areas, are the baggagehandling rooms, the areas of the tarmac where aircraft are parked, and the lounges where passengers wait after they pass the X-ray machines.CHECK EMPLOYEES To make sure that sterilized areas stay that way, the government has introduced a security check of all airport workers as their restricted-area passes come up for renewal.All new employees must also undergo the check, performed by CS1S.The security check is being challenged in court by the International Association of Machinists, which represents many of the airport workers.The union says the check intrudes on the privacy of their members Stuart Grant, the airport security expert with the Air Transport Association of Canada, says the airlines support the checks of airport workers but the procedure for carrying them out is too slow and cumbersome.Deveaux said transport officials and police pay more attention to the security of the air terminal than to the entire airfield.“They need to pay more attention to the perimeter of the airport” — to things like proper fencing and patrols.I never redd' \\\e, pr inf/, «CT Letter Looking for clergy photos Dear Mr.Editor, I wonder if any of your readers could help in the following situation.Mr.Byron Clark of the

countries such as ours which possess no nuclear arsenals will he actively involved in all aspects of disarmament.The protection of this planet is a matter for all the people who live on it; we cannot accept that a few countries alone should decide the fate of the whole world." —Six Nations Initiative, Mexico City, 1986 The relatively powerless are banging on the door demanding to be let in.Amid all the superpower summits and the rather less numerous Soviet-American arms control agreements, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that neither they nor even their alliances embrace all the threats to world peace.And they certainly do not exhaust the list of potential victims of war.The international climate is relatively benign at the moment, but there can ultimately be no security for anyone unless there is a global security system extending far beyond the superpowers.There is nobody more cynical — or at least more pragmatic than practicing politicians.Yet there is an international group of such hard-headed politicians that is pursuing precisely the goal of a real global security system It is called Parliamentarians Global Action, and the combination of idealism, practical political experience and good connections in their home countries makes the members of parliament, senators, deputies and congresmen of PGA a surprisingly influential group.It was they who three years ago persuaded Prime Ministers Rajiv Gan- m- il>Æ \ GwynnetS Dyer I 'l dhi of India, Andreas Papandreou of Greece and Olof Palme of Sweden and Presidents Raul Alfonsin of Argentina, Miguel de la Madrid of Mexico and Julius Nyerere of Tanzania to launch the Six Nations Initiative.It was the first attempt in 30 years to challenge the superpowers’ exclusive control of the disarmament agenda.And it was they, at the recent Third United Nations Special Session on Disarmament in New York, who got a proposal for a multilateral verification system on the UN agenda.It is only a small part of what would be needed to make a global disarmament and security system work, and even this proposal will likely take years to come to reality, but it is a start.The idea is that to verify disarmament agreements — especially in regions of the world beyond the orbit of the superpowers — we need a UN-controlled verification agency disposing of surveillance satellites and other tech 'ical means of monitoring military activities that only the superpowers presently operate.And it has to be put into place beforehand, in order to make such agreements possible.This is only the first item on a much broader PGA agenda that includes imposing binding obligations on countries to submit their disputes to international legal bodies for mediation or adjudication, creating a greatly strengthened UN peacekeeping system with permanent military forces at its disposal, and negotiating drastic reductions of armaments worldwide.And the striking thing is that the PG A’s members are not hippies chanting in the streets with flowers in their hair.They are U.S.senators, British and Zambian and Indian members of parliament, French and Argentine and Greek deputies in the local National Assembly — all people who understand power and politics.Moreover, they are not a bunch of ’leftists’.The organisation carefully balances its membership across the political spectrum, drawing from conservative and centre parties as well as socialist ones.So long as you are an elected representative at the national level from a country where they hold genuinely democratic elections, you are free to join And some of the best people in politics do.Conventional political realism’ is governed more by what is feasible in terms of domestic politics than by what is actually necessary to solve a problem.There was a striking display of what that means in practice at last year’s PGA session.The parliamentarians were having their usual discussion about why international measures that are actually vital to “save the world from the scourge of w'ar” (as the UN Charter put it) simply could not be pushed through by their respective governments.The entrenched institutions and habits of thought at the national level were just too strong.And then somebody suggested that they pretend that they were having a ‘third try ’.Both the League of Nations and the United Nations were founded at the end of disastrous world wars, in the hope of preventing their recurrence.Let the parliamentarians assume that they were meeting after there had been a ‘limited’ nuclear exchange between the superpowers which had left 120 million dead, but stopped short of full Armageddon.The transformation was astonishing: what had been impossible suddenly became easy.Within half an hour these pragmatic politicians were calmly discussing not only the abolition of all nuclear weapons and the creation of an international enforcement agency to prevent rearmament, but even the outlines of a democratically elected world parliament with an executive branch empowered to make decisions on matters relating to human survival.The trick, of course, is to reach that goal without the goad of a Third World War (which might leave nobody alive for

Farm and Business The RECORD—Wednesday, .luly .UWJi—5 ___Ml icecora Prairie drought will mean higher food prices By Darlene Rude WINNIPEG (CP) — A case of beer and a loaf of bread could be the first items on consumers’ shopping lists to cost more because of a crop-wilting Prairie drought, industry spokesman said Monday.Beer drinkers can expect to see prices rise less than $1 a case because of skyrocketing barley prices, said Dennis Manning, a spokesman for Labatt’s Brewing Co.Ltd.“It will be felt definitely,” he said from Toronto.“There will be an increase.” Malting barley is needed to produce malt, the raw material of beer.Tight supplies of the grain have pushed the Canadian Wheat Board price up to $315 per tonne from $207 in May.A shortage of spring rain and high temperatures have produced extremely dry conditions in much of Saskatchewan this year, along with parts of southern Alberta and Manitoba Grain industry analysts predict the grain crop could be cut by as much as half and hamper Canadian grain exports.BRINGS RELIEF Rain in the last month has brought relief for some areas from a drought that's being felt as far east as Ontario and Quebec.Some Edmonton residents report flooded basements.Manning couldn't say when higher beer prices will take effect because breweries usually buy their barley supplies in advance.Statistics compiled by the Brewers Association of Canada suggest the barley price increase would cost Canadian brewers an extra $41 million.Manning said.That’s a little less than half their annual net profits of $86 million.George Fleischmann, president of the Grocery Products Manufac- turers of Canada, said bread prices will increase four cents for every dollar per bushel rise in the price of wheat.“If it conceivably doubles, we could see a 10 cent rise in a loaf of bread easily," he said from Toronto.The price for top quality red spring wheat used domestically is $257 a tonne, up about a third in the last month.Fleisehman said the prices of other flour-based goods like pasta and bakery products are likely to increase as well, depending on how much grain is used in their production TAKES TIME “It’s something like when the price of oil goes up and down.It takes two or three months to be felt at the gas pump.” Doug Mutch, an economist with the Canadian Livestock Feed Board in Montreal, said the drought could be good news for consumers buying bacon or chicken."We are going to find meat supplies higher and prices weaker," he said.Already, ample supplies of meat in Canada mean low prices that will be forced even lower if farmers begin to sell animals to avoid paying higher feed costs, he said For example, the wholesale price for pork bellies, used to make bacon, has fallen to 35 cents a pound from 58 cents and is likely to keep dropping.“Hog prices will remain under pressure for the remainder of 1988 and in 1989." Mutch said, He said cheaper pork prices will force discounting in poultry prices as well.Last week, Statistics Canada officials suggested food prices increases will remain below’ two per cent this year.Southern Ontario farms winning battle against drought By Kevin Ward AURORA, Ont.(CP) — Vegetable farmer Ted Visser pushes his thick fingers into the chocolate brown dust, burrowing down to his suntanned knuckles before he finds moisture.Last week, his young vegetable seedlings should have been nurtured by the water in his fields.But this year, drought and wind has starved crops on nearly one-third of his fields.“I think it’s been the worst that I can remember,” says the sturdy Dutch immigrant who has owned his 30-hectare farm near this southern Ontario farming community for 38 years.“Mother Nature is a funny thing, and farmers rely on Mother Nature strictly,” he says.“You can’t change the weather.” The silver-haired Visser, 57, has spent about $4,500 this summer re- planting eight hectares of carrots and celery.Those crops were ripped from the ground by winds whipping across his land.But, like most of the 150 farmers on Holland Marsh — a 2,830-hectare basin of flat, fertile lowland just north of Toronto — Visser’s drought problems are not as severe as in other parts of Canada.WELL IRRIGATED Holland Marsh, Ontario’s main vegetable growing region, is surrounded by a river, and canals carry a steady supply of water from nearby Lake Simcoe.Irrigation pipes line every field like the neat rows of vegetables that grow in the marsh.For Visser, the drought has meant extra work.He and his two sons have spent more time than usual running irrigation lines to protect his onion, carrot, lettuce and celery crops from the wind John van der Zalm, executivesecretary of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, says vegetable farmers on Holland Marsh are better off than other farmers across the province, especially those who don't have irrigation systems.In southwestern Ontario, he says, even farmers with irrigation systems have had trouble.“People there have been irrigating and irrigating, but they have not been winning the battle,” van der Zalm says.“People who are relying strictly on natural rainfall could be in trouble.” EARLY IN SEASON Visser says it’s too early in the season to tell what the drought will mean in terms of lost income.His son Brian, 27, explains that soaking the fields to try to prevent dust storms — which “look like snowstorms, but in black” — has meant higher costs and lower profit so far for farmers on the marsh.Visser estimates he broke even on the first lettuce harvest this year.He sold each head for about 20 cents, or three-quarters the price needed “to make a decent living." The quality of his crop, which is 10 to 14 days behind schedule, hasn't been affected by the drought but there’s a good chance that this year's yield will be lower than recent years.For instance, if two-thirds of the carrots he planted are harvested, he says he will “be doing well.” Regardless of the yield and price he gets for his vegetables, Visser says he will not be driven under by the drought.“We’re settled,’’ he says.“We’ve been farming for a few years, so we ll survive.” By The Canadian Press Small companies will get help to win their share of $8 billion in contracts the federal government dishes out each year, the government announced Monday.“Everybody knows that small business cannot compete in the same league with multinational corporations for major government procurement

$100 million must submit a small business sub- Business briefs MONTREAL (CP) — SR Telecom Inc.reports it has sold more than $4 million of its SR500 digital equipment for telephone utilities since it was introduced in 1987.Alberta Government Telephones and Alberta Power Ltd.each installed SR500 systems in the last quarter of 1987.Alberta Government Telephones has two additional systems on order.Terra Nova Telephones in Newfoundland is currently installing a system, which will likely become the third to become operational.Other Canadian orders have been placed by B.C.Telephone, Quebec Telephone, West Coast Transmission, Nova Scotia Power Corp.and Sasktel, the latter for use in remote areas, The first international order was recently shipped to British Telecom, for evaluation, while

St-Laurent.The new three-storey building will open by the fall of 1989, to be used mainly for research and development.Northern Telecom Canada, a subsidiary of Northern Telecom Ltd.of Toronto, employs

in-clude small business subcontracting plans, and will be considered as part of the bid evaluation criteria.Contracts under $25,000 will be rotated, “soother firms can have a crack at them,” Valcourt said.“Quite often contracts are just renewed with the same company.” Six small-business advocates will be hired by the Department of Supply and Services to identify opportunities for suppliers and ensure small business takes advantage of them.The advocates will work with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and the Department of Western Economic Diversification, federal programs pushing development in those regions.SEEN AS PROMISING Michel Decary 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.” The government doesn’t intentionally ignore small business in its procurement, but the federal bu- reaucracy makes it tough for small firms to capture contracts, said Decary, the federation’s director general for Quebec.Filling out many forms, long delays and being unaware of tenders published “in obscure publications” means “a lot of companies just give up,” he said in an interview.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.VACATION DAYS TIRE sale price

in Abestos takeover TORONTO (CP) — The Quebec government says the Ontario Securities Commission ha* no jurisdiction to conduct a hearing into the takeover of Asbestos Corp.by a Quebec Crown corporation in 1986 Lawyer Sheila Block told a five member commission panel Mon day that under the Canadian constitution, Quebec is not bound to the securities laws of Ontario.The ability of a sovereign power to pursue the public interest is at issue, she said, adding the province wanted control of its asbestos industry in order to develop a secondary industry to alleviate regional unemployment As a result, Quebec had the power to acquire control of a 54.6 per cent interest in Asbestos Corp.held by General Dynamics Corp.of St Louis without making a bid to the minority shareholders.Alternatively, the government could have expropriated the assets without infringing on any securities laws, she said.The government paid $170 million, or $80 a share, for the block in 1986.The shares of the minority shareholders now trade at about $9.up from a 52-week low of $4.25.The shareholders are seeking a follow-up offer.Joseph Groia, a lawyer with the Ontario commission, told the panel he histoty mthas er :s own ci$- the Quebec government’s arrangé ment with General Dynamics wii a takeover, which took effect 1986 after an attempt w as made renegotiate in 1985.GO TO

of Asbestos Corp.Minority Shareholders, said during »a break in the hearing.To support her constitutional tegument, Block, lawyer for the Qufe-bec government, cited a 1942 Canadian Bar Review article

Beck.Added vice-chairman Charles Salter: “T|e matter may not appear to him now as it appears to have appeared to him then.” Gardener grows lettuce with no dirt, pesticides or shovels Small companies will get share of government goodies CAMBRIDGE.Ont.(CP) - You won’t find any dirt under Odin Mel vaer’s fingernails.He grows the hydroponic way No dirt, no shovels and no pesticides for this southern Ontario lettuce farmer and entrepreneur.His farm is a 90-metre green house, where he grows thousands of leafy green Boston bib lettuce using liquid nutrients instead of earth.Melvaer’s lettuce plants are sold with their roots intact in plastic bags in a small amount of liquid.They have a shelf life of about one week following harvest in his greenhouse, one of about 20 in Canada, he says.In his mid-sixties, Melvaer says all food may one day be grown using the hydroponic method.“When you see what we re doing to the soil that we have nurtured so long.to me (hydroponics) is the way it’s going to have to be,” Melvaer says.GROWS LETTUCE Using the process, farmers can grow top quality lettuce year-round in clean, pesticide-free greenhouses.At present, lettuce grown in s^il can be choked by weeds, starvedpf rain and necessary nutrients."We felt the future in the wlufle program would be the ability tolo drop these ( greenhouse}») anywhere near a well, .and adapt our formula to it.and eight weeks later, we would have a perfect ertp of lettuce.” Eight years ago, Melvaer qijit his job as a valve and pump salijs man to explore hydroponic gi|o-wing.Working at the University pf Guelph, he developed the elixir}>f life, a plant formula containing (18 nutrients needed to grow healtfcy lettuce.“In the process, we killed alxàit IV2 million heads of lettuce,’* lie says.Today, Melvaer produces about 200 cases of lettuce each week an winter, and 500 cases in summer.He says he plans to build another $3 million greenhouse on his farm.While investors are scarce, he says stores and

du Canada Canada fr-The RECORD—Wednesday, July fi, l»«8 Living fleconl North Hatley’s auction is good news Foster parents can be the most loving of all AU too frequently, the English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships hears bad news.It is thus a pleasure to offer a positive story about two more successes being staged in North Hatley.As everyone knows, North Hatley has recently rallied from an economic, physical, and service depression.New businesses have opened, buildings have been renovated, and the residents now have a level and diversity of services not seen since the early ’70s.Life is not measured solely, however, in business and services.So it is nice to salute both the Festival du Lac Massawippi and the return of the North Hatley Antique Show.The Festival du Lac Massawippi Association is celebrating its fifth year of performances.Foun ded in 1984 by Eric Scott, the asso- MONTREAL (CP) — Let kids be kids, teachers are warning parents who are pushing their young children into excelling when they’re barely out of diapers.Stacking blocks, drawing and coloring are fun and teach young chil dren life-long skills but many parents, eager to give their kids a competitive edge, are denying them this child’s play in favor of formal instruction.Often high achievers themselves, these parents are pushing their children to read and write and play violin, a trend some experts say may do more harm then good.Take reading.Most children read by age six or seven.Less than five per cent read with comprehension before entering kindergarten.Yet many more are pushed to read before they are ready, says Susyn Borer, a Montreal teacher and pa rent.That can create stress and may lead to problems with behavior or self-image, says Borer, who is head of a new alternative elementary school opening this fall.She cited the case of a five-year-old pupil at her kindergarten a few years back whose father planned Keeping in touch By Wanda Scott ciation’s mandate is to promote Eastern Townships artists and to bring special cultural events to the area.Over the years, the Festival du Lac Massawippi Association has presented recitals, artists and poetry readings.This year the festival is presenting a classical “Recital Series” at Ste.Elizabeth Church on the Capelton Road in North Hatley.The Recitals take place on Sundays at 11:30 a.m.and tickets are $4 at the door.This year’s dates are: July 10 the Concordia Chamber Players to send him to private school to meet the “right’’ people.“The child was plugged in every day to at least one activity after school,” Borer recalled.“And they were competitive things.So the child couldn’t just enjoy himself.No, he had to score goals.He had to be the best.” The father also wanted the child to write, she said, even though the little boy didn’t yet have the fine motor co-ordination to do it.WANTED EVERYTHING “To a certain extent, the father wanted the child to be everything he hadn’t been.He wanted his son to be perfect — and he couldn’t be.So the child just refused to do anything.” Play is how children learn best.The real value of pre-school edua-tion, teachers say, lies in providing an atmosphere that nurtures a child’s natural curiosity and sense of self-worth, in instilling a love of learning and in showing how to achieve.When they build towers and castles with blocks, children learn co-operation with other kids.They're learning language skills, arithmetic, creativity, why some things stay up and others fall down.with Sherman Friedland, clarinet and Dale Bartlett, piano; July 24 Josee Roy, soprano; August 7 L’Ensemble du Caree St-Louis with Brian Brice, piano, Marc Fraser, violin, and Robert O’Callaghan, flute ; August 21 Hope Te-trault, piano.One of the ways the Festival du Lac Massawippi is able to stage the Recital Series is by sponsoring the North Hatley Antique show.Although it has been 11 years since the last one, the show used to be an established part of the Eastern Canadian Antique scene, due mostly to the efforts of Anne Beaulieu.This year it is being organized by Eric Scott and the Festival du Lac Massawippi along with monetary help from the Department of Employment and Immigration Canada.Eighteen established dealers have been invited from Ontario They’re improving hand-eye coordination which they’ll need to read and write.“When a kid is playing with blocks, he is learning everything,” said Barbara Marcus, a teacher in the early childhood education department at Vanier College in Montreal.Wearing old clothes from the dress-up corner teaches them to express themselves.Trying out adult roles in play helps children make sense of their world.Pushing children to learn basic skills early is often inefficient.“Part of the argument for teaching a young child something like reading is that they are very formative years.They can learn,” noted Montreal teacher Bettina Shore.“The thing is they can also forget.And two years later they may be able to learn just as well in 10 minutes what has taken 10 hours at the age of two.And what could that child be doing in 10 hours at the age of two instead of sitting in front of flash cards?” PARENTS PUSH Parents often push because they want to give their child every chance to make it in today’s highly and Quebec, and will be presenting mainly Canadian pieces as well as interesting collector items.Dorothy West of Griffon Antiques, Knowlton, will be showing a wood and wire bird cage in the style of Queen Anne House and a bird’s eye maple gate legged table, as well as a fall front desk of figured maple and pine.Jacques Campbell of the Emporium, North Hatley, will be showing pieces that have not been shown before.Over 1,000 people are expected to attended this two-day event being held at the North Hatley Primary School.The doors will be open on Friday, July 15 from 10 a.m.to 10 p.m.and on Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m.Tickets will be $5 at the door.For further information

don’t think it hurts to teach a child an instrument at a young age or to read if you see he or she is ready — if it’s with some recognition of the child’s need for making friends and learning other things and if it’s not trying to fulfil some parental need,” Shore added.Parents used to be relieved their children were healthy and normal, now parents want their children to excel, writes David Elkind, a Boston child psychologist, in his new book, Miseducation: Preschoolers at Risk.Children under five are not ready for ballet or gymnastics, because their bones and muscles are not mature enough, says Elkind, a professor of child study at Tufts University and president of the U.S.-based National Association for the Eduation of Young Children.He admits that infant swim classes have value as a social activity for parent and child, but he highlights the risks — from water intoxication to diarrhea.Dear Ann Landers: I am sick of reading about children like little Quintin McKenzie who, instead of being allowed to stay with fostercare parents who love them, are forced to go back to a natural mother just because the law favors blood relatives.Too often these children die at the hands of a natural parent.Why don’t the courts see this?Little Quintin’s history showed that he was hospitalized because of injuries inflicted at the hands of his “loving” mother, yet they sent him home to her again.He died soon after as a result of her beatings.Can it be that the real reason these children are sent home is because it’s cheaper for the state than paying for foster care?Also, there is a lot less paper work.Fathering or giving birth to a child does not a parent make.When is all this nonsense about blood being thicker than water going to stop?The answer, of course, is when someone who has influence is willing to go on record and speak out against the injustice of the system.I’m not a prominent person and I have no records to quote, but 1 11 bet if someone compiled a record of the number of children who died from being abused by their own parents, as compared with those who were killed by foster parents, it would make a big impact.Will you help, Ann?— Whitestone, N.Y.Dear Whitestone: You bet.Here’s your letter.I hope it will inspire some compassionate attorneys to compile the statistics you referred to.It would certainly help the cause of foster parents and the children in their care.The Lisa Steinberg case triggered a great deal of anger and made us all realize that upper-middle-class, professional people can be hideous parents and that neighbors should become involved when they hear a child screaming night after night.Thanks for another reminder.Dear Ann Landers: Our son was divorced last year and pole-vaulted into another woman’s bed immediately.He had picked her up at a bar.She became pregnant (so much for my son’s judgment) and Ann Landers is about to give birth any minute."Jed” had no children by his first wife.Now that he is about to become a father, without benefit of clergy, he has become enthralled with the relationship but not so enthralled that he is considering marriage.The woman has let him know that she resents his closeness to his parents, and, in order to placate her, he has cut off all communication with us.On her birthday last month, I sent a gift which she returned with a note: “Thanks, but no thanks.” My dilemma is this: Does the child they are about to have come under the heading of grandchild?Are we supposed to forget that we have a son and allow this woman to cut us out of their lives?We’d like a response from an intelligent person with an objective view.— Hurt in the Midwest Dear Hurt: Why are you laying all the blame on the woman?She could not have alienated your son without his permission.The about-to-be-born child is your grandchild, no matter what.Wait until after the birth.Perhaps parenthood will awaken in your son a sense of decency toward HIS parents.At least, let’s hope so.Good luck.POACHING Don’t expect every kid to be an instant Mozart Social notes Jane Ann Derick and Richard Steven Heiter wedding pits 2 A pretty spring wedding took place at St.Thomas’ Anglican Church,

does not change from generation to generation, That is, eager beaver or otherwise, everyone looks forward to his (her) summer vacation.Some get as little as two weeks, and some lucky ones as many as six, The amount usually depends on service, accumulated sick leave and just maybe whether you’re feeling rich.I know that no one looked forward to summer more than I did when I was a kid in school, For though I usually got along all right I did not enjoy the classroom very much as a rule.Two months of summer vacation looked pretty enticing even when 1 had lots of chores to do for Dad, And the neighbours knew when they asked “Don’t you miss school,” they could really get me mad.Of course school was the only place that closed right down for two months, most others did not close at all, But let their employees go a few at a time and tried to give them all a turn before fall.So I generally enjoyed my vacation even though it included three weeks of pitching hay, In those years I disliked school so much even haying was better though I received no pay.There would always come a few wet days in hay-time, but that did not mean a day off, It generally resulted in a tour of cleaning the calves ’ or pig pens where the strong smell would make you cough.If the wet spell lasted long enough and it just might if you kept wishing, When the barn-cleaning jobs were all caught up — there was nothing left to do but go fishing.Later after school was over for me and all the vacation I had was two weeks, I enjoyed the outdoor air, I often helped my in-laws with their hay crop so they would get it all in before the fair.And the fair was another event that made the summer for kids a memorable time, But the pleasure there was toned down some for by then school opening was not far down the line.One of the strange things about aging is that it affects one’s conception of the passing of days.When you are young everything ‘next year’ sounds far off in a sort of haze.On the other hand when you get older instead of waiting anxiously for wanted events to start, You begin to wonder how many years it will be before your birthdays start coming only a month apart.Howard Gibson, Lennoxville, Que.SCHOOL FAIR There was a time (maybe a few still) when there was a fair just for the kids in school, The Agriculture Department supplied seed free for the kids to plant or throw in the pool.They were supposed to prepare the patch, sow the seed and cultivate the plants, Then in the fall they were to exhibit part of the produce and take their chance.It was often thought they didn’t do much of the work and the crop was mostly not theirs.But there was no proof and the prizes were small so it didn’t matter much whether all was on the square.There were other competitions, like cooking for the girls and sewing and canning.And a few simple carpentry classes for the boys which did not require very much planning.There was generally a lunch served at noon by the church women or the Women’s Institute, It was usually good and plenty of it but if you did not think so it was best to keep mute.There were short races for all sizes and sometimes a class for ponies, So giving a chance for the boys to hitch up and compete with their cronies.One year they had a lamb-judging contest under the watchful eye of the agronome, I guess some kids perhaps had a little advantage because they raised sheep at home.He told us what points to look for and somehow I guessed right and got the nod.Don’t ask me how I got first prize, because I knew no more about lambs than a goose knows about God.Howard
