OTTAWA (CP) - The federal agency that regulates Bell Canada wants to make sure politicians won’t get a leg up on other customers if a federal election is called while Bell workers are on strike.The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is requesting a prompt reply from Bell Canada on company policy in the event of a federal election.Pierre Godin, commission director of complaints and inquiries, said Wednesday that Bell is obliged under the Railway Act not to give undue preference to any customers.Bell Canada says business customers are getting limited service and that federal politicians and election candidates are treated as business customers.Their campaign offices will be equipped with limited lines with seven days notice, said Mary McGregor, a section manager for business operations.Bell serves Ontario, Quebec and parts of the Northwest Territories.That area includes about 175 federal ridings where at least 550 candidates will require immediate tele- phone installation when an election is called “W’e have written Bell.to give us their position or what the company policy is regards to federal politicians requesting telephone service should a federal election be called,” said Godin.WANTS PROMPT REPLY Normally Bell has 20 days to respond but Godin plans to call the company for a prompt reply because of rumors of an election call soon."The Railway Act says .that no company will give preference or undue advantage to any customer for whatever reason it might be, whether you’re a federal politician or a conglomerate or just a small residential subscriber.” Rural rights gained, postal box fees unfair OTTAWA (CP) — Canada Post announced Wednesday it is eliminating annual fees for about a million lockboxes in rural post offices effective Jan.3, foregoing annual revenue of between $6 million and $8 million.John Fellows, the corporation’s manager of collection and delivery, said in an interview the $6.74 annual fee which has been paid by rural residents for decades is unfair.“There’s been an inequity built up over the past 20 or 30 years where the primary mode of delivery for the vast majority of Canadians is free and one small group is required to pay,” said Fellows.Lockboxes are not to be confused with superboxes, for which there is no charge.Superboxes are located outside, not in post office buildings.Door-to-door delivery is free.Fellows said the decision to gradually eliminate the lockbox fee shows that rural areas are not being neglected by the corporation.“This is another indication that we’re staying in rural Canada, that we’re providing better service for rural Canada,” he said.There has been widespread criticism of the corporation’s plans to shut down rural post offices over the next decade, replacing them with counters in corner stores and other businesses.Fellows said lockboxes in such privately owned locations are already free.He denied that the move to eliminate the fee is a public relations gesture, saying it was in the Canada Post corporate plan released in May.“We’re simply following up on our commitment,” he said.“The corporation is on target to break even, and this is a very appropriate time to live up to the corporate plan.” Soviet defector claims he was trapped by CSIS MONTREAL (CP) — A translator from the Soviet Union who defected last December has returned to Moscow, with a Soviet news agency quoting him as saying he was ‘ ‘trapped’ ’ by Canadian sec ret service agents.Novosti quoted defector Andrei Alexandrovitch Rekemchuk this week as saying he “fell victim” to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and that it “took him much time and effort to disentangle from their dangerous meshes.” Rekemchuk, 32, who worked for the International Civil Aviation Organization in Montreal, requested and was granted refugee status last December.His request to remain in Canada came after his wife, Galina, and son Pavel, 5, had left on an Aeroflot flight for Moscow.An official with the Montreal-based United Nations organization, who refused to give her name, said Rekemchuk resigned June 20.Novosti said Rekemchuk endured a 200-day ordeal with two CSIS interrogators.Rekemchuk said the agents “know the ropes and their crossquestioning was quite professional.” “The longer the questioning, the more depressed you became,” Novosti quoted him as saying.“They are trying to suppress the will and make you stop taking independent decisions.” CSIS spokesman official Gerry Cummings said Wednesday that Rekemchuk had returned to the Soviet Union “of his own free will.” SPEAK TO HIM He refused, however, to confirm Rekemchuk’s interrogation.But he noted that it is CSIS’s mandate to gather “counter-terrorist information” and if a Soviet official wants to stay in Canada, CSIS “would wish to speak with that individual.” He noted that several Soviet officials attached to the aviation organization and the Soviet consulate were expelled from Canada this year for spying.He would not say whether the expulsions were a result of information from Rekemchuk.Andrei Stulov, a spokesman for the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, said Rekemchuk decided to leave Canada because he was homesick and because CSIS wanted him to spy on Soviet officials in Montreal, which he refused to do.When he defected last December, Rekemchuk said he hoped the Soviet Union would grant his wife and son permission to emigrate.Rekemchuk was the second Soviet translator at the aviation organization to defect this year.Yuriy Smurov defected in May with his wife and daughter.He is apparently still in Canada.Preacher says the Bible teaches about spanking OTTAWA (CP) — A preacher sentenced Wednesday to a year’s probation says he cannot abide by a court order forbidding him to preach in favor of corporal punishment for children or to spank his own two youngsters with any object.Moments after provincial court Judge Bernard Ryan gave his decision, the minister whispered to his lawyer who advised the court the order goes against the man’s religious beliefs.Ryan warned if the minister breaks the law, “he can be charged with a breach of probation.And I can assure him if he comes back before me on a breach like that, he’s facing a jail sentence.” The minister pleaded guilty last month to a charge of counselling his congregation to assault children as a means of discipline.Another charge of assaulting his son, then eight months old, was withdrawn.The counselling charge arose out of a Nov.26, 1986, sermon entitled “How to Raise Rotten Kids.” A member of the congregation, who taped the sermon, complained four months later to authorities.The man, who cannot be identified because his children are under supervision of the Children's Aid Society, said outside the court that he has never beaten his children or told others to beat theirs.Asked if he intends to breach his probation, he said: “I don’t know, I’ll just keep on doing what God wants me to do.” In his sermon, the minister quoted the Bible to advocate the use of a “neutral object,” such as a bread board, in spanking children on the buttocks to drive out “foolishness” and “rebelliousness.” In his 35-minute address, he said children must be spanked hard on the buttocks and repeatedly until the incorrect behavior stops.Children may be disciplined even as newborns, he said.If left to themselves until they are two or three, they may already be “hardened towards spiritual things." Sherbrooke nun among busload of hostages ; - Germaine Comptais got more news on the phone than she was hoping for on Wednesday.Her sister, Sherbrooke nun Blanche Favreau (inset), became a heroine during a bus hijack in the African nation of Lesotho — and made it safely through the adventure.Turn the page for more.MASERU, Lesotho (CP) — South African police attacked hijackers holding a busload of pilgrims going to see Pope John and said three hijackers and a young woman hostage were killed in the shootout Wednesday night.A Sherbrooke nun and 10 other passengers were wounded and a fourth hijacker was arrested, South African police headquarters said.There were 69 passengers on board the bus when it was stormed.The military government of Lesotho, a black kingdom that lies inside South Africa’s borders, requested South African help in handling the hijacking.Police said the shootout took place when the hijackers tried to drive the bus through the closed gates of the British High Commission in Maseru.Reporters were barred from the area at the time of the shootout, but later they saw the bus, its windows shot out, lying wrecked in the high commission courtyard just inside the gate.South African police said officers returned fire after the hijackers began shooting.WILD FIRING’ Police said the hostage casualties were “apparently caused by the wild firing of the hijackers.” They said no policemen were injured.Among the wounded hostages was a 63-year-old Canadian nun, Blanche Favreau.The External Affairs Department in Ottawa said Favreau was slightly wounded and was taken to a hospital.She was expected to be released later Wednesday night and then moved to a convent in Maseru, said External Affairs, relaying information from D.P.Viveash, a counsellor from the Canadian Embassy in Pretoria who went to Maseru.The Pretoria embassy handles Canadian interests in Lesotho.Favreau is a member of the Order of Charity of the Sacred Heart based in Sherbrooke, — also Fa-vreau’s home town.The shooting broke out about 20 minutes after the Pope arrived in Maseru, eight hours behind schedule.The hijackers earlier demanded to meet with the Pope and Lesotho’s king, Moshoeshoe II, a government official said.After nightfall, gunfire and explosions were heard at the site where the bus was parked, and flares lit up the sky.Reporters were blocked from getting close enough to the scene to see the shootout, but they saw ambulances taking casualties to a hospital.CHASED WITH WHIPS Police ordered journalists at the scene to disperse and then chased them away with whips.The Pope arrived in this mountain kingdom after an overland journey from Johannesburg, where bad weather forced his plane to make an unscheduled landing.John Paul met Foreign Minister R.W.(Pik) Botha at the airport and was briefed about the hi- jacking before leaving for Lesotho.The Pope, a firm critic of apartheid, had intended to bypass South Africa on his tour of five black-governed states.John Paul did not kiss the ground in Johannesburg, as he customarily does the first time he visits a country, and made no public statements there.When hijacked, the bus held 71 people, 36 of them children.One hostage escaped through a window, while another was released to act as a messenger.The hostages were from Lesotho, except for the Canadian nun, said Tom Thabane, secretary for Lesotho’s six-man governing military council.Armed security forces from both Lesotho and South Africa surrounded the bus.Botha said Lesotho authorities had asked for help with security and that South African personnel were “in attendance to render advice.” Thabane said the hijackers belonged to the Lesotho Liberation Army.The state-run South African Broadcasting Corp.said a man claiming to be a spokesman for the guerrilla group telephoned its Bloemfontein, South Africa, office and denied responsibility for the hijacking.The four hijackers posed as pilgrims when they boarded the bus Tuesday at the start of its journey from rural Lesotho, said police commissioner James Dingiswayo.See CITY NUN, page 3 Hurricane Gilbert goes on without casualties CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Gilbert, one of the strongest storms in history, battered Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday with window-shattering winds and torrential rains, cutting off the Caribbean resorts of Can-cun and Cozumel.Thousands of people were evacuated from the path of the storm, which left at least 11 people dead in Jamaica.The Canadian consulate in Merida, Mexico, said Canadian tourists were evacuated to safety.The External Affairs Department in Ottawa said it doesn't know how many Canadians are in the Yucatan area but tourism industry estimates indicate Canadians are the third-largest group to visit Cancun, after U.S.citizens and Mexicans.Air Canada has cancelled this week's package tours to Cancun 3 and Jamaica, as have other tour companies.Company officials said passengers who have booked flights that were to have left between today and Sunday will be offered refunds, alternate dates or different destinations.External Affairs said it has been unable to determine the fate of an estimated 1,200 Canadians on the island There have been no reports of any casualties among them.Meanwhile, the storm, with sustained winds of at about 260 kilometres an hour, ripped over Cozumel island Wednesday, knocking down a radio and television communications tower, uprooting trees and blowing the roofs off buildings, ham-radio operators said HOMES FALL Winds levelled slum areas in Cancun on the Mexican mainland, radio operators said.In Quintana Roo state, huge waves lashed at Caribbean resort beaches and trees were downed by winds.“The sound of the wind outside is horrible,” said receptionist Pablo Torres at the Hotel Carrillos in Cancun in a telephone interview as the storm approached.“You couldn't leave even if you wanted to.” Hydro may charge more QUEBEC (CP) — Hydro-Quebec is studying a plan to charge consumers more for the electricity they use between the peak hours of 5 p.m.and 7 p.m.The rate increase is one of the options outlined in the province’s long-term energy plan released Tuesday by Energy Minister John Ciaccia.The cost of peak-hour power is evaluated at four times the cost of electricity delivered in off hours Ciaccia said Quebec wants to “try and reduce the use of electri- city at peak hours, because that electricity we can sell (as exports to other provinces and the United States) and make more money on." He said Hydro-Quebec has still not worked out the details of the plan.Hydro spokesman Jacques-Andre Couture said the system would require a second meter in homes to monitor the use of power during peak periods and might resemble the utility’s current dual-energy program. 2—The RECORD—Thursday, September 15, 1988 First U.S.team supervises Soviet detonation of nuclear bomb By Michael Putzel SEMIPALATINSK, U.S.S.R.(AP) — The land heaved and windows broke more than three kilometres away Wednesday when the Soviet Union detonated an underground nuclear bomb for the first U.S.experts to witness a Soviet nuclear blast.The Americans stood in a chilly wind on the barren test site at the Forward Command Post Semipa-latinsk Polygon about 2,700 kilometres southeast of Moscow in the republic of Kazakhstan.The test range is far from the nearest settlement on the steppes of Soviet Central Asia and a four-hour bus ride from the city of Semi- palatinsk.As the shock waves rippled out, the ground shook and a low rumble began.Within moments of the blast, a reddish dust cloud rolled above the spot where Soviet scientists planted a nuclear device in a shaft drilled 587 metres into hard rock.Some observers seemed a bit queasy because of their closeness to ground zero, only four kilometres away.Soviet observers watching a similar test Aug.17 in Pahute Mesa, Nev., remained about 50 kilometres from the blast site — too far away to feel the impact.It was the first time Soviet ex- Farmers and gov’t to discuss feed subsidies OTTAWA (CP) — A federal program that subsidizes freight rates for livestock feed grains delivered to the Atlantic provinces and British Columbia will be reviewed, Grains Minister Charlie Mayer announced Wednesday.Mayer said in Charlottetown this summer that he would conduct a full review of the program’s opera tion.The review is to be completed by March.Three of the six committee members are farmers — Peter Bunnett, a livestock and grain producer from Petitcodiac, N.B., Lloyd Evans, a hog producer from Middleton, N.S., and Art Kasdorf of Abbotsford, B.C., a member of the advisory committee to the federal livestock feed board.Dan Fenety of the Agriculture Department’s grains and oilseeds branch, will be chairman of the review while other committee members are Guy-René de Cotret of the livestock feed board and Mario Du-mais, general-secretary of Quebec’s Co-operative Federée.The committee is to discuss possible improvements to the program with farmers, farm groups and provincial governments.Feed freight assistance was started in 1941 as a temporary measure to boost livestock production in the Maritimes and B.C., areas which couldn’t produce enough grain to feed to cattle, sheep and hogs.The program now covers shipment of feed grain into northern Ontario, eastern Quebec, the Atlantic provinces, B.C., the Yukon and Northwest Territories.Close to two million tonnes of grain moves under the $15.4 mil-lion-a-year program.Maritime livestock producers told Mayer this summer that the level of assistance hasn’t kept up with rising transportation costs.Acid rain deal to wait for U.S.presidential election By Norma Greenaway WASHINGTON (CP) — External Affairs Minister Joe Clark has dismissed hope of reaching an acid-rain accord with the outgoing Reagan administration after meeting Wednesday with U.S.State Secretary George Shultz.Clark told reporters the U.S.administration refuses to budge from its opposition to the acid-rain agreement sought by Canada, and hopes of progress now rest with the U S.presidential contenders and Congress.“We’re not going to sign an agreement that doesn’t meet Canadian requirements and we can’t get the kind of agreement that we want at this time from the United States,’’ he said after a four-hour meeting with Shultz.During Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s visit to Washington in April, President Ronald Reagan said he would consider Canada's proposal for a treaty setting specific targets and a timetable for reducing U.S.industrial emissions that cause acid rain.Reagan said Shultz would take up the issue with Clark.Clark said Wednesday there has been no movement on the “basic question” of setting firm targets and a firm timetable for reducing U.S.emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, the two key ingredients of acid rain HOPE FADES “We don't have the agreement that we would have liked so we are focusing our efforts on Congress, on presidential candidates and other developments,” Clark said.“We consider that there will be —___ftgf

Delorme Street, Sherbrooke, Quebec, J1K 1A1.Second class registration number 1064.Member of Canadian Press Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation peris were allowed to see a U.S.nuclear test and monitor it with their own equipment.After Wednesday’s test, the Soviet scientists quickly checked their instruments and announced they had obtained the data necessary to determine the force of the blast.The information was gathered in a few millionths of a second before the explosion destroyed the sensor cable buried a few metres from the nuclear device.The Soviets and the Americans, who monitored the blast with U.S.technology, have agreed to release the data within a month.The blast was designed to have a force of 100 to 150 kilotons, about 10 times that of the atomic bomb the United States dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of the Second World War, but less powerful than the multi-megaton hydrogen bombs detonated in the atmosphere at the height of nuclear testing in the 1960s.The Hagfors Observatory of the Swedish Defence Research Establishment said the Semipalatinsk explosion measured between 50 and 150 kilotons.The joint experiment was the culmination of a “dream for many experts who have spent their careers watching and studying their counterparts from a distance,” said Paul Robinson, the chief U.S.negotiator at the Geneva talks on limiting nuclear tests.“We are extremely pleased,” said Joseph Salgado, deputy U.S.energy secretary.Igor Palenykh, head of the Soviet observation team, said: “If the Americans had any doubt about our level of science and technology in a nuclear field, now they know.” Both sides expressed confidence the test explosion will lead to ratification of treaties limiting the size of underground nuclear blasts.At a news conference in a trailer village that served as the command post for the test, Salgado said Wednesday's experiment and the one like it in Nevada “have demonstrated the effectiveness and non-intrusiveness of CORRTEX,” the U.S.technology developed to gauge the force of nuclear explosions.The Soviets, however, remain skeptical that the U.S.on-site measuring system offers a long-term solution to the problem of verifying nuclear tests.Lt .-Gen Arkady Ilyenko, chief of the Semipalatinsk test site, said it is too early to determine whether the U.S.method is non-intrusive — meaning it does not interfere with the blast or pick up other data the country doing the testing would like to keep secret.News-in-brief Mother wants abortion money Water slide not business?— in time — a comprehensive agreement signed on acid rain between Canada and the United States but I don’t think it is going to happen in the next few months.” The U.S.presidential election is Nov.8 and the new president will take over from Reagan in January.Wednesday’s meeting was probably the last major one-on-one encounter Shultz and Clark will have before elections in both countries.The U.S.presidential candidates — Democrat Michael Dukakis and Republican George Bush — have pledged specific action to tackle acid rain.A recent promise by Vice-President Bush to dramatically curb acid-rain-causing emissions by the year 2000 if he wins represents a major departure from Reagan’s long-standing opposition to such a comprehensive program.STIFFER CONTROLS Dukakis, the Massachusetts governor, has long been an ardent proponent of more acid-rain controls, largely because his state is among those affected by the pollution.He favors reducing annual emissions of sulphur dioxide by about 11 million tonnes, or 50 per cent, over 10 years.Coal-burning power plants are the chief source of the pollution in the United States.Clark said he and Shultz discussed the status of the Canada-U.S.free-trade agreement in both countries but there was no talk of delaying the proposed effective date of Jan.1.“Our expectation, our hope is that it will be in effect on the 1st of January,” Clark told reporters.QUEBEC (CP) — Goverments should use the money they spend on abortions to help the needy, Mother Teresa, the Nobel Peace Prizewinning nun who works in the slums of Calcutta, said Wednesday.“I think it would be good if they gave me all the money and I will use it for all the poor people,” Mother Teresa told reporters as she met Gov.-Gen.Jeanne Sauve at the Citadel, the vice regal summer residence.“It is never good to destroy life,” added the Roman Catholic nun who is in Canada to speak at an anti-abortion rally on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Saturday.“Every little one has been created for greater things,” said Mother Teresa who has called on Canada to ban abortion.The 78-year-old nun, dressed in the white and blue-bordered habit of the Missionaries of Charity — the order she founded in India — urged Canadians to open their pockets to the needy.“The more you give, the more you get.The less you give, the less you have,” said the Yugoslav-born nun who arrived in Montreal on Tuesday.Church rejects homosexuals SAINT JOHN, N.B (CP) — The Saint John presbytery of the United Church will reject homosexual candidates for ordination until the church’s Maritime Conference takes action on the issue, a presbytery spokesman said Wednesday.Two motions passed at a lengthy meeting Tuesday night near Sussex, N.B., close the door to gay and lesbian ministers in the presbytery’s 40 churches, said public relations director James MacKenzie.The presbytery’s decision runs against the grain of a resolution passed last month by the church’s national council allowing homosexuals to be considered for the ministry.MacKenzie said the presbytery considers the national council resolution to be a non-binding recommendation to the regional church conferences, presbyteries and pastoral charges.Deaf man wants to be juror VANCOUVER (CP)— A man deaf since birth filed a B.C.Supreme Court action Wednesday challenging federal and provincial laws that prevent deaf people from being jurors.The suit, filed by Ken Loehr of suburban Delta, seeks a declaration that the B.C.Jury Act and federal Criminal Code are unconstitutional on the grounds that they violate the equality provision of the Charter of Rights.It also wants an order that British Columbia and Ottawa supply interpreters so deaf people can take part in jury trials.The case is not expected to be heard until next year.Sanctions lose vote WASHINGTON (Reuter) — The Senate foreign relations committee recommended Wednesday sweeping new economic sanctions against South Africa, but the 10-9 vote along party lines is expected to prove merely symbolic.Proponents of the bill acknowledge they don’t have the votes to halt a probable Republican filibuster in the full Senate or to override a presidential veto if the measure reaches the White House.The bill would cut off almost all U.S -South Africa trade and compel U.S.firms to pull out of South Africa.It is similar to a bill passed by the House of Representatives in August.Fire kills two VANCEBORO, Me.(AP) — Two people died Wednesday in a fire that destroyed a vacation cottage in a Maine border town, authorities said The victims, who were badly burned, were found in the basement of the two-storey, wooden structure which had been reduced to rubble by the fire, said Steve McCausland of the state Fire Marshal’s Office, which is investigating the blaze.The victims won’t be publicly identified until the state medical examiner's office performs autopsies, McCausland said.No date has been set for the examinations.The house is owned by a group of Massachusetts residents, and authorities said members of the group indicated one couple had been staying in the house since Saturday.COLUMBIA, S.C.(AP) — A tax auditor says he found no legitimate business purpose for a personal 91-metre water slide, two Rolls-Royces and hundreds of thousands of dollars that Jim and Tammy Bakker and a key aide got through PTL.Larry Howlett, an auditor of tax-exempt organizations with the U.S.Internal Revenue Service, was the second witness Tuesday in the trial of the ministry’s $52 million US claim against the Bakkers and former PTL aide David Taggart.The trial began Monday in U.S.Bankruptcy Court.PTL lawyers are seeking to force the Bakkers and Taggart to repay the money they say was lost through mismanagement of funds that included cash advances on PTL credit cards and unjustified compensation and benefits.Howlett listed among the expenditures with no legitimate business purpose a 91-metre water slide at Bakker’s Lake Wylie home, which has since been sold, and $32,000 worth of luggage.Howlett also said the revenue service could find no documentation to support the business purpose of about $300,000 in cash advances made to Bakker and Taggart between 1984 and 1986.West German takes toll to 62 MAINZ.West Germany (AP) —The death toll from the Ramstein air show disaster rose to 62 when a 19-year-old West German man died, officials said Wednesday.On Aug.28, an Italian air force stunt team jet fighter collided with two other planes in the team and exploded in a crowd of spectators at the U.S.air force base at Ramstein in southwestern West Germany.The young man died late Tuesday of serious burns in a Homburg clinic, a spokesman for the Rhineland-Palatinate state Interior Ministry said.He refused to release the man’s name.Officials said 154 patients, about 25 of them in critical condition, remain in clinics throughout West Germany with injuries from the crash, Dietzen said.The dead are 55 West Germans, a U.S.soldier and her nine-year-old son, one French citizen, one Dutch citizen and the three Italian pilots.Negotiations to continue GENEVA (Reuter) — Iraq said Wednesday it will attend a single Persian Gulf peace meeting at the United Nations in New York, putting to rest doubts as to whether the negotiations with Iran would continue.UN mediator Jan Eliasson had adjourned peace talks in Geneva on Tuesday and asked the foreign ministers of Iran and Iraq to meet in New York before returning to Geneva later.Iraq immediately responded by saying it would only go to New York once a date is fixed for the resumption of the Geneva talks.Wednesday’s statement stated Iraq would go in the first week of October even though a Geneva date had not yet been settled.But it said the New York meeting would be “followed soon thereafter by the resumption of direct talks in Geneva.” Resign or die RANGOON (AP) — More than 100,000 shouting protesters told leaders of Burma’s authoritarian government Wednesday to resign or die and demanded that an interim administration lead the country back to democracy.The student-led marchers flooded all main Rangoon streets to protest against the governing Burma Socialist Program party and its 26 years of repression and ruinous economic policies.They rejected President Maung Maung’s plan for multi-party elections.“Step down fascist BSPP government!" and “Give us an interim government!” shouted the demonstrators, who included Buddhist monks and government employees.“You run or we will kill you!” the marchers shouted, thrusting fists in the air.All shops and offices were closed Wednesday.Crowd estimates ranged from 100,000 to one million.Death was an accident GIBRALTAR (AP) — A British soldier said Wednesday he shot an IRA member because he thought the guerrilla was about to detonate a car bomb.The soldier, one of four Special Air Services soldiers who shot and killed three unarmed members of the Irish Republican Army, testified during an inquest into the shootings.He was identified only as Soldier A and was hidden from public view by a curtain for security reasons.The soldier told the inquest he began shooting after “a sudden aggressive movement” by IRA member Daniel McCann.The British military has said it believed the IRA man was about to carry out a car bombing in this British colony.In an intense cross-examination, Patrick McGrory, a lawyer for the families of the three dead men, accused Soldier A of lying.“I put it to you that it (the movement by McCann) didn’t happen,” McGrory said.“You shot him in the back without any movement whatsoever.” Women complain of third sex MOSCOW (AP) — Soviet women lashed out at their male-dominated society Wednesday, demanding a greater say in their country’s future and complaining that they have been bypassed by Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms.In articles published in Wednesday’s edition of Pravda, the Soviet Union’s leading newspaper, and the Sept.9 edition of New Times weekly, women complained that their country has created a “third sex,” women who must do exhausting physical labor and who are not respected as women.They also said that birth control was unavailable, the infant mortality rate too high and that woman’s vital economic role is not accompanied by any significant political power.The writer in the New Times went so far as to call for the beginnings of a women’s movement.“In our country, for some reason, there is not a serious women’s movement,” Larisa Kuznetsova wrote .I’m not calling for extremism, but women’s voices are audible only in their kitchens.” Elitist shop closed MOSCOW (Reuter) — A specialty food shop catering to the Soviet elite has been closed as part of a drive to end privileges for top Communist party and state officials, the weekly Moscow News said Wednesday.It said the shop at 2 Granovsky St., a stone’s throw from the Kremlin, was closed Sept.1.Only top officials had been able to shop there.The question of privileges for the elite sparked sharp debate at last summer’s special party conference, and since then the media has reported the transfer of numerous special facilities for top officials to public use.Moscow News did not say how the specialty food shop would be used in the future.No more panda loans BEIJING (AP) — China will sharply limit its loans of giant pandas for foreign exhibit in an effort to halt commercial exploitation of the rare animals, a Forestry Ministry official said Wednesday.The official Xinhua news agency, meanwhile, reported that all loans of pandas and snub-nosed monkeys to the United States were being suspended “so as to protect the endangered species.” China, the only country where pandas live in the wild, estimates that fewer than 1,000 remain, threatened by poachers and deforestation.However, Zhang Yushan of the Forestry Ministry, which has charge of conservation, said the new policy affects all countries, not just the United States, and does not completely rule out future loans.China stopped giving gift pandas to foreign zoos in the 1970s but requests for loans of pandas for temporary exhibits abroad have multiplied in recent years.Weather Cloudy with clear

By Rita Lcgault KNOWLTON — The Town of Brome Lake has asked neighboring Sutton Township to take immediate action to stop raw human sewage from homes in Sutton Junction from flowing into the Yamaska River above West Brome.The resolution was proposed by councillor George Bristol, who represents West Brome.The village is next to and downstream from Sutton Junction, where sewage from about a dozen homes enters the river on its way downstream into the territory of the town of Brome Lake.Bristol says he wants Sutton Township to obey provincial and its own municipal regulations that forbid dumping anything into rivers and lakes.“They think ‘who cares’ ! ” exclaimed Bristol.“Hell, I care!" ASK THE MAYOR “This is an important arm of the Yamaska.It’s precious and we must get it cleaned up." Brome Lake town council, who spent most of Monday’s council meeting debating Brome Lake’s own sewage problems, voted in favor of a resolution instructing Mayor Gilles Decelles to approach Sutton Township Mayor Winston Bresee and his council to take action to stop residents from pouring their sewage directly into the Yamaska River.Bristol’s resolution also requests that Sutton Township order a contractor to remove heavy equipment used to dig gravel from the riverbed of the upper Yamaska River.Also at Sutton Junction upstream from West Brome, the La-giie construction company of Far-nham Centre operates a gravel pit which straddles the river.It takes the gravel to shore, crushes it and piles it up to await shipment by dump truck.That too is illegal.‘NOT SUPPOSED TO’ “They’re not supposed to be there,” Bristol said.“They know it.” Bristol said in an interview Tuesday he is surprised the town of Cowansville, which gets its drinking water further downstream, is not angry about the problem Bristol first heard of the sewage when asking local residents about their municipal concerns He said he has never seen anything like the open sewers pouring human waste from about a dozen homes in Sutton Junction He said some residents have complained about the problem for years but nothing has been done "If we can get them toclean it up.great!.” Bristol said."If not we will have to do something to force them to act.” Brome Lake youngsters can sign up cheaper Waterloo deal means more hockey and skating KNOWLTON (RL) — Parents in Brome Lake may now be able to afford to send their children to minor hockey and figure skating following an agreement between the town and neighboring Waterloo.Under the agreement Brome Lake residents will have access to all Waterloo recreation programs with no non-resident payment.Michael Caluori, Brome Lake councillor in charge of recreatio- nal programs, said Tuesday the main advantages of the deal, which will cost the town $3200 a year, will be in hockey and skating, which now cost individual Brome Lake parents the regular price, which ranges from $20 to $65 per child, plus a non-resident surcharge of $60 “Really, looking at it, its like we bought an arena for $3000,” Caluori said.“We have all the advantages an arena would bring without the cost.” Brome Lake has no figure- skating program.Caluori said some informal hockey games are played on the town’s outdoor rinks but Brome Lake couldn't afford to offer its youngsters organized minor hockey.He said that prior to the agreement about 65 Brome Lake children travelled to Waterloo to play hockey."Since we have entered the agreement several families have said they can now afford to send their kids for hockey,” Caluori said "So I imagine our participation will go up now.” ‘The man is gathering moss’ — judge Court wants some quick answers for prisoner held despite decision COWANSVILLE — Mister Justice Paul Gervais has ordered the National Parole Board and Cowansville Penitentiary warden Jean-Paul Lupien to appear in Superior Court next week to explain why inmate Stéphane Marleau has was not been granted day parole to enter a detoxication center.Lawyer Margaret Allen represented Marleau and sought a writ of habeas corpus — meaning that the parole would have to be granted because there was no reason not to grant it.Allen said Marleau, 20, was told by the parole board July 6 that he would be eligible for day parole by no later than Aug.15, to be admitted to the Emanuel Grégoire pavilion for evaluation.Allen charged that with no prior knowledge Marleau, serving his first penitentiary term, was met by guards Audette Marlin.Marc St-Pierre and André Ostiguy as he prepared to leave the penitentiary for the centre.They told him his day parole had been cancelled because he was suspected of possessing drugs and attempting escape (through the walls, not the drugs).NO CHARGES Allen said no sanctions have since been taken against Marleau.She said he has never been given facts to allow him to present a defence to the pen discipline board or the parole board.She also said no charges have been laid against him in or outside the prison.Lawyer Marco Dumont, who represented the federal Solicitor-General’s office, said the demand for habeas corpus was premature because Marleau had not gone through all possible procedures at the pen.He said the parole board was ready to sit Wednesday afternoon for a re-evaluation of the case if the court did not grant the writ of habeas corpus.“According to the parole act day paroles can be suspended on ru- mors,” Dumont told the court.22 DAYS "My client has been held without any decision for 22 days," Allen re butted.“We aren’t arguing full pa role — only the day parole to allow him to visit a controlled detoxication facility where he has been accepted for evaluation.” Dumont countered that Marleau still had not undergone full evaluation in the pen.“Whose fault is it he hasn’t been fully evaluated?The man is gathe- ring moss,” Justice Gervais blustered.“What do you want today?” he asked Allen.“A writ of habeas corpus to find out why my client can’t be allowed out on day parole according to a decision made by the National Parole Board on July 6,” Allen said.Despite objections by Dumont st ating he needed more time to pre-pare the case and locate witnesses Justice Gervais delayed his decision until next Wednesday.City nun becomes saviour for a day during horror-filled Lesotho bus ride Blanche Favreau with another sister — Sister Jeanne Favreau.By Melanie Gruer ST-DENIS-DE-BROMPTON — Germaine Comptais says her sister never feared the racial violence so common in South Africa.Comptais says she never worried much either.That is, not until Wednesday.Comptais’ sister, Sister Blanche Favreau, was the Quebec nun aboard a busload of pilgrims hijacked by the Lesotho Liberation Army Wednesday.Three hijackers and a young woman hostage were killed in a shootout between South African police and the hijackers.Favreau, 63, was grazed in the head by a bullet in the fusilade.She has worked in Lesotho for 37 years, Comptais said.She went to the small kingdom inside South Africa’s borders in 1951, six years after she joined the Order of Charity of the Sacred Heart on Bowen St.in Sherbrooke.CALL FROM THE ORDER Comptais said in an interview later she had no idea anything was wrong until she got a call from the order Wednesday morning.“They asked me if I had listened to the news.As soon as I knew it was the order 1 thought of my sister Germaine Comptais.Sister Blanche saved the day.right away." “They told me a bus that she was in was stopped by the army there,” Comptais said The St Denis resident spent much of the day calling her other 10 siblings, some of whom live in the United States.And she spent all her time worrying, she said.Comptois said she reacted immediately when she got the mid- morning phone call.The news didn’t take any time to sink in.“I said, My God’.I was very emotional.” “I was scared that something very serious was going to happen.You always have to think of what’s happening there — it’s very difficult.” But around 4 p.m.Wednesday Comptois received good news from the order.The ordeal was over and her sister was safe.“They told me she was slightly injured and she was at the hospital but that she would be back at her home tomorrow.” There was even better news too.The order told Comptois her sister was being hailed as one of the heroines of the hijack.“It was she who took control.It was thanks to her it worked out well,” Comptois said, although she still awaits exact details of how the incident ended and her sister became a heroine.SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE “I imagine, knowing her, I know she is capable of taking things into her hands to calm all the other sisters wo were with her and the students — to calm them and talk to them and talk to the terrorists.” Blanche Favreau.Heroine of African bus hijack.“She speaks the language so she can communicate with them,” Comptois said.The last time she saw Favreau was in June when she was home for a visit.Comptois said the two talked about the political situation and violence in South Africa.But she said Favreau never really writes about it in her letters.That’s too risky, she said, so they talk about it when she comes home.“She says it’s more dangerous for the blacks than for her.She says the blacks respect the religious orders.” fcWe figured that by 1988 it was about time’ — Sherbrooke chaplain Canada’s Vietnam vets unveil shrine with U.S.help as Ottawa ignores them SHERBROOKE (CP) — More than a decade after the last American troops pulled out of Vietnam, Y von Roy wants to officially welcome home Canadians who served with the U.S.forces during the conflict.“In 1982, we saw the U.S.Vietnam veterans receive their welcome home with the dedication of the Vietnam memorial in Washington,” explained Roy, a burly Sherbrooke native who is a former member of the elite U.S.Special Forces Group, better known as the Green Berets.“Since then, we Canadian citizens who served in the American forces — and there were 20,000 of us — haven't gotten anything," he said Wednesday.“We figured that by 1988, it was about time we had FARNHAM — Farnham town council has paid slightly more than lip service to a recommendation made by the Quebec Police Commission, but didn’t fully impose the sanction suggested TheQPC.recommended Const.Pierre Benoit be suspended for five days without pay for his as- our own welcome-home ceremonies.” Roy said of the 20,000 Canadians, about one-third were from Quebec.Many were from the Townships, he said.DEDICATION On Saturday U.S.armed forces representatives will march in a 2'/?-kilometre parade to the century-old St-Bernard church in the tiny farming village of St-Bernard de Lacolle, just across the Richelieu River from Noyan.The church will be dedicated as the official veterans’ shrine.Part of the cemetery in the border town of 1500 will be dedicated as the official national cemetery for Canadians killed in the controversial conflict and a 5.7-metre sault on Farnham resident Serge Boutin in Farnham on Nov.2.1986.The results of a QPC public hearing held during May 1987.were made public a few weeks ago.Council suspended Benoit without pay for three days.granite monument will be erected there by Nov.11.The monument will be inscribed with the names of 67 Canadians killed in the war and will be a duplicate of the Vietnam memorial in Washington, D C.The cemetery will be named after Richard Paul Dextraze, a Canadian killed in Vietnam in 1969, whose father is a general with the Canadian Armed Forces.Dextraze was from Buckingham, Que.About 15,000 people are expected at the ceremony.WON’T PARTICIPATE While the American services will provide drill teams, guards of honor and bands, the Canadian Forces refused to participate.“The Canadian Defence Department refused any co-operation whatsoever,” said Roy, who was wounded twice in combat.“They said they would not participate but on the other hand, the Department of Veterans Affairs is sending an official representative.” Roy, who has received messages from U.S.President Ronald Reagan to read at the ceremony, has been told Prime Minister Brian Mulroney will send a delegate and a message of support.A letter from General Paul Man-son, Chief of Canadian Forces Defence Staff, stated: “Canada supports veterans of other countries who have served as members of Canadian forces during past conflicts; however the Canadian government does not recognize the voluntary participation of Canadian citizens in foreign conflicts in which Canada does not participate.” NEIGHBORLY COMFORT’ The letter wished organizers “fair weather and neighborly comfort” during the ceremonies.Roy, who is chaplain of Montreal Chapter 56 of the Disabled American Veterans, said, “Even if the U.S.citizens say welcome home to their veterans, (Canadian officials) still don’t recognize us as veterans.We were even told in the past we were mercenaries.” “We enlisted and took the oath under the flag of the United States so we’re far from being mercenaries.We're veterans of a war, we decided to do it for the United States as many people from the United States decided to join the Canadian forces in the Second World War and Korea.” Roy said currently Canadians who served during the war receive medical benefits from the United States for service-related disability, but nothing from the Canadian government.SERVED IN HOT SPOTS Roy, 44, who was trained in Police brutality Farnham cop home 3 days ENCOURAGE THE RICHMOND REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL jungle warfare and whose group led the American involvement in the conflict as advisers and instructors, joined the U.S.Army in 1961 when he was turned down by the Quebec provincial police because of bad eyesight.In those days there wasn't much work in Sherbrooke, he said.He was on a visit to Newport, Vt.and saw a sign urging young men to enlist.Two months later he was on his way to Vietnam He arrived in 1969 and served in such hot spots as Hué.Hamburger Hill, and Khe Sahn Roy, left Vietnam in 1971 and retired from the U.S.Army in 1976.He has two sons in the U.S.military.“I guess I’m fighting for them at this point,” he said.“If they ever go to war 1 don’t want them to go through what I went through.” QUAYLE A SHIRKER Asked aboutthe controversy surrounding the service record of Sen Dan Quayle, chosen as Republican running mate to U.S.ice-President George Bush, Roy said Quayle should step aside because “the United States has turned around on Vietnam.” “He’s finding all the excuses but I think Dan Quayle joined the Na tional Guard not to go to Vietnam,” Roy said Roy said his Vietnam experience taught him to be a quick judge of character because a soldier’s life often depends on his comrades.“I had too many friends t hat died there,” he recalled.“The most vivid thing I remember were the surprise attacks during the night.You’d wake up during the night and you’d have hundreds or thousands of Viet ('ont: around your fi rebase and only a couple of hundred G.I.s to fight back.“Sometimes you’d have to run away from the base into the jungle and fight back the next morning.“Those are the kind of experience that 1 don't think I’ll ever forget.” Roy invites anyone interested to attend and says he'd like to see his old friends from the Townships.CORRECTION Please note the following correction in our advertisement of Wednesday, September 14.The

RECORD—Thursday, September 15, 1988 —_____fall icecora The Voice of the Eastern Tomiships since 1897 Editorial Anglophone youth home needed now Once again Health and Social Services Minister Thérèse Lavoie-Roux is feeling the heat because of her ministry’s chronic underfunding of badly needed social services.This time the heat comes from a local fire in Brome-Missisquoi.In an open letter published in today’s Record, the Committee for the Establishment of an Anglophone Group Home says it is losing confidence in the present government over its failure to bring a badly needed home for troubled English-speaking youths to the Townships.The group said it has been asking for such a home since 1980.It has raised more than $200,000 in volunteer contributions but so far, despite numerous lobbying attempts, it still has not received support from the government to make the home a reality.The letter, adressed to Lavoie—Roux and local MNA and Minister of Municipal Affairs Pierre Paradis, says the committee is fed up waiting for adequate services for anglophone youths.In the meantime, about 10 troubled anglophone Township youths must travel more than 100 miles to reception centres in and beyond Montreal because the facilities they need so badly do not exist here.This, says the group, costs the taxpayers $1.5 million in transportation costs alone.The government recently found money to allocate 20 more beds to troubled francophone youths at area centres but while those beds are badly needed, so are beds for troubled anglophone youths.Paradis has said he supports the group’s demands and once said there was a 99 per cent chance they would get the home in the present budget.But so far he has failed to convince his cabinet colleagues Lavoie-Roux and Treasury Board President Daniel Johnson to act.Saturday Paradis promised to set up a meeting between the committee and Lavoie-Roux.But a meeting is not what is needed.A home for anglophone youths is what is needed, and now.The importance of the group home for anglophone youths has been explained and is supported by many local citizens and organizations inlcuding the Director of Youth Protection, the Regional Health and Social Services Council (CRSSS) as well as the Townshipper’s Association and Alliance Quebec.Francophone youths in the region have access to these services and anglophones should be entitled to them as well.But it is not a language issue.It is an issue about essential social services which should and must exist.It is time for Minister of Health and “we don’t have enough money for essential Social Services” Lavoie-Roux to act.And to act now.RITA LEGAULT U100 looks into airline crashes OTTAWA (CP) — U100 might sound like a war movie or a rock group but it’s really a squat building at the edge of Ottawa International Airport that specializes in sad endings.The kind of sad endings of an airplane crash.The building is home to the technical laboratories of the Canadian Aviation Safety Board, a federal agency that tries to find out why planes make what some bureaucrats call unscheduled contact with the ground.Inside U100 are banks of computers, high-powered electron microscopes and a hugh workshop.The lab and its 20 employees go to work when there’s no obvious reason for a crash.Such as the Arrow Air DC-8 that crashed at Gander Airport in 1985 killing 248 American military personnel and eight crew The four engines and other pieces of the plane are still at the building; their role in the accident still unclear.There are also bits and pieces of other planes from more-recent accidents, making the building look like the downside of the Aviation Museum, a tourist attraction on the other side of town.The board’s job is to figure why a plane crashed, or almost did, and how to prevent it from happening again.Investigation teams are on standby around the clock to go to crash sites, says Tom Hinton, the board's director of investigations.There they sift through the wreckage in search of clues."We have to investigate and collect notes on all sorts of information that might be related to the crash," Hinton said SIFT EVIDENCE A chief investigator is assigned to every incident and he draws together all the information uncovered by the other sleuths — everything from the condition of the engines, the weather, to eyewitness accounts.The board launches 1,000 investigations a year, about half of them into accidents.The investigators send a plane’s cockpit and flight data recorders to the laboratory for decoding.The board has developed a computer graphics program which allows it to produce a video simulation of the final moments of a flight combined with the voices of the pilots.Meanwhile, any pieces of the plane which may have figured in the crash are disassembled at the lab and inspected under microscopes.Experts can tell w hether an aircraft part failed suddenly or wore out gradually.Bill Tucker, the board's director of safety programs, says the lab is an important tool in an investigation "because accidents usually are a chain of events so we have to try to find all the things that went wrong in the system to prevent a reoccurrence." Causes aren’t always mechanical and the board is expanding its ability to analyse human factors, says Dave Adams, an Australian on loan to the board as a human performance analyst.Letters Not the Methodist Church Hall To the Editor: The Megantic County Historical Society would like to advise the public that it is the Methodist Church Hall building and not Candlish United Church that the Society would like to use as a museum.Thank you for your concern.AUDREY ALLAN, Secretary Megantic County Historical Society Granddaughter got Record cap Why not Knowlton High School} ?To the publishers: Why don’t you put Knowlton High School in the paper ?We all made pictures and there are 25 kids in my class and so far we have only seen one from my school.Yours truly, Scott Rocheleau Dear Mr.Bury: Owing to mail strikes have delayed my letter of thanks.I wish to thank you for such good coverage of my article and for two additional copies of Record, plus the Record cap.I have given that to my granddaughter (great).I think it will be more becoming on her than on a 90-year-old!

Others are not against music in principle but have strict rules for what songs can be heard, and what instruments played.Abdel-Aziz, a 28 year-old accountant, said religious songs calling for faith in God, goodwill and a holy war to defend God's cause are the only ones acceptable.And, he said “Only the tambourine can be used .but it must not have jingling metal discs.It must be hit by the palm and not the fingers so as not to emit a hip-shaking beat.” BEIT JALLAH, West Bank (Reuter) — It was before dawn when residents of this largely Christian Arab town captured, tied and beat two Muslim thieves, burned their truck and turned them over to passing Israeli soldiers.The recent incident, in the midst of a Palestinian uprising, underscored the dilemma for Christians of the West Bank, a minority of five per cent caught between a Muslim majority and a Jewish occupation army.Christians privately say they feel pressured to demonstrate their loyalty to the Palestinian cause.Like the Muslims, their stone-throwers clash daily with Israeli troops Recently, soldiers shot dead a 40-year-old resident in a clash with demonstrators after Sunday church services The resident was one of a hand ful of Christians to die in the uprising.PROTEST RULE Months ago Palestinian police resigned by the hundreds in protest of Israeli rule.Beit Jallah organized all-night neighborhood patrols — a "secret army," residents said — to protect the town from Muslim outsiders.They say the intruders are thieves from nearby refugee camps and towns who would not dare to steal so boldly from other Muslims.The army works through the night.When an intruder is spotted, the patrol whistles, waking residents who pour out of their homes to catch the thief.But the “secret army” must also dodge the Israeli army.“It’s a problem,” said a resident who gave his name as Abu Kareem.“It's better with the army because of the thieves, but on the other hand, we go out at night to go to the bathroom and we could get shot (by soldiers).” CLASH WITH ARMY More than 250 Palestinians have died in the uprising, most of them demonstrators shot in clashes with troops.At least four Israelis have also died.Residents of Beit Jallah, which has a population of 11,000, eagerly voice solidarity with the uprising.They say relations between the town’s Christian and Muslim residents are strong.Yet analysts say Christians, who make up a large part of the educated, merchant middle class, are those most likely to leave the West Bank for a more peaceful environment.’ There are psychological factors at work," said Mark Heller, senior research associate at Israel’s Jaffee Centre for Strategic Studies.“There is a perceived need on the part of a minority to prove their national credentials by being in the forefront.” FEEL UNCERTAIN Simultaneously there is a “suppressed apprehension” among Christians about their fate in a future Muslim-dominated Palestinian state, he said.Thus Beit Jallah residents do not press charges against intruders, and though residents will hand over the outsiders, they shun co-ordination with the Israeli army.Jordan’s recent announcement that it would sever all legal and administrative ties with the West Bank to make way for the PLO only broadened their uncertainty.“We used to leave the door open all the time, I used to leave the kids asleep and go into Jerusalem," said one mother.“Not anymore.I“m afraid."

four-month period ended Aug.13, a 20-per-cent-increase over the same period last year.Net income for the second quarter rose 23 per cent, totalling $16.4 million, or 19 cents a share compared to 16

Petrini’s Meat Inc., which has 11 supermarkets, and signed an agreement to purchase 15 Alpha Beta-Lucky supermarkets in northern California.“The results for the second quarter are encouraging and confirm the development strategies pursued by the company,” said company chairman Pierre Lortie.Trading in futures has changed considerably over the past few years.Investors now have more diversity and flexibility in this market than ever before.However, while futures can generate more impressive returns than less speculative instruments, investors should be aware that the downside risks increase as well.One of the reasons for this is that two of the advantages of futures which amplify their tremendous profit potential — leverage and volatility — can in certain circumstances be considered disadvantages.As an example, if a market, say gold, takes a sudden dramatic downturn (volatility), investors having put up only about 10 percent of a gold contract’s value (leverage) could lose more than their initial investment.EXAMINE FINANICAL SITUATION Thus, if you’re considering trading futures, you should closely examine your financial situation.You should already have a sound portfolio of relatively safe, liquid investments including stocks and bonds, money market accounts, etc., as well as have set aside money regularly to provide for children’s education, retirement, life insurance and other basic needs.Then you can determine how much of the balance can be considered “risk” capital.Studies have shown that most people who lose money in commodity futures markets share five common errors and that it is those same five errors that the winners overcome.These errors are : UNDER CAPITALIZATION A typical commodity futures account is capitalized at about $15,000.But the average client often risks many times this amount in his weekly trading.This puts a heavy premium on being right immediately on almost every trade — and the chances of this happening are very small.Investors with little liquid capital are quickly forced out of the market because they are unable to meet margin calls.Investors with larger pools of capital are better able to withstand occasional margin calls and can stay with positions until they prove rewarding.Successful commodity futures traders are always well capitalized.UNDER DIVERSIFICATION Most people trade only one commodity or try to specialize in one commodity futures group such as precious metals or stock indexes.If this trader is wrong on his first series of trades, he may require all his risk capital to margin his mistakes and ultimately never trade again.By putting all your eggs in one basket, your opportunity for profit is limited.Winners diversify by allowing themselves the opportunity for profit in many areas while, at the same time, reducing the probabi- lity of loss by spreading the risk among several different commodity groups.NO TRADING PLAN For most people their trading plan is hope —“I hope I’m successful”.Most people have no plan.Winners in commodity futures markets, like winners in every other endeavor always have a plan for success.There are a great many commodity futures trading plans available — some are expensive and some are free.Having any plan is always better than having none at all.Investment Interest By Daniel Watier Lack of Discipline M any people have a trading plan but most don’t stick to it.Many unsucces-ful traders let emotion override their trading plans by taking profits too soon or by staying wit losing positions for too long.Winners must have the discipline to cut losses and allow the fewer but more profitable trades to accumulate profits.Winners always have the discipline to follow their plans.Lack of Patience If your plan is to profit by trading commodities then patience is where all the money is made.Successful commodity futures trading is not accumulating great wealth in a single trade over a very short time period — rather successful trading requires a long term strategy.You must allow time for major price moves to develop.Winners are always patient.Growth of the futures markets is expected to continue as increasing economic volatility and uncertainty open the doors for viable new futures contracts.This sensitivity places futures on the cutting edge of the world economy, and provides many attractive opportunities for astute investors.If you have built a solid portfolio of investments to meet your basic financial needs and can put some risk capital to work, you may be a prime candidate to capitalize on the advantages of futures.Contact your Investment Executive to ascertain how futures can enhance your portfolio.Daniel Watier is an investment executive with ScotiaMcLeod Inc.When a Kidney Foundation

The RECORD—Thursday.September 15, 1988—7 Farm and Business Rsconl ‘Family Herald’ reunion recalls rural paper’s heyday Hv r*nrvmf>nriiiim thpre were some one was a little separste story more like the city.Therefore our By Judy Taylor for Mainland Press ORMSTOWN — Just 20 years ago, a kind of battle was lost (or won, depending on your point of view) in the arena of Canadian journalistic publications.And the farm people of Canada had a stake in the war.In a way, they still do.At the time, the circumstances of the battle were a bit confused, even to those in a frontline situation.But after two decades, the dust has settled and the issues have defined themselves in a more understandable way, as perspectives lengthen into almost-history.In September 1968, the Family Herald stopped publication after 99 years.Its weekly circulation was then some 400,000 readers across the country, so it could with some justification call itself “Canada’s National Farm Magazine Published out of Montreal by the now-defunct Montreal Star Co.Ltd., the magazine in later years also employed regional editors in such centres as Calgary and Toronto.A typical issue of the '60s ran to 72 pages of agricultural features, fiction, and regular columns ranging from gardening to religion; from favorite songs (complete with piano score), to women’s articles.SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE Not only was there something for everybody in this incredible wee- kly compendium, there were some things for hardly anybody.But they all “belonged”, and helped to give the Family Herald its unique flavor.At least, that was the feeling among the magazine’s editorial staff, recalled 20 years later by Vernon Pope, one of over a dozen Family Herald veterans who made it to an informal reunion held recently at the Ormstown farm of writer, broadcaster and columnist H.Gordon Green, himself a former Contributing Editor at the Herald.Pope's invovlement with the paper in various editorial capacities spanned some three decades, and more than anyone else at the reunion, he made the ideas behind the Family Herald flicker again into life as he spoke about the magazine as it was in its prime.CULTURAL VALUES “The magazine was sneered at by many people,” he said.“But each part, such as ‘The Quiet Hour’, even though it might be read right through by only one per cent of the readers, had a relationship to cultural values which didn’t need to be expressed.But it was there.” Among 400,000 readers, Vern Pope never lost sight of the individual, even as pressures increased toward the slick, the glossy, the mass-produced, and most important, the financially profitable.“Take the classified ads,” he reminisced with his former colleagues and continuing friends.“Each one was a little separate story about human beings.This was especially apparent in the paper's old format — later they lost a lot of that folksy quality.” For many Family Herald old-timers, “painting the barn" marked the beginning of the end.This refers to the transition to the use of color and a slicker format, introduced by the publisher in an effort to keep up with the times and conform to the ad-man’s idea of what would sell.COST $3 PER YEAR The results were disastrous.Production costs skyrocketed, and the magazine showed substantial losses.(Even at the end of its life, an annual subscription cost $3.) Culturally, the publication began to grope for its readership.Farm people, as everyone knows, are among the most traditionally-minded readers anywhere, and they don’t much like change.But farm life itself was changing rapidly in the 1960s, as were marketing, advertising, and publishing techniques.Finally, the centrifugal forces were just too great and the Herald folded, leaving many of its former staffers wondering just what had happend, not only to the magazine they had known and loved, but to the very community it served.“Somehow, we lost the feeling of being part of things,” recalls Vern Pope.“Modern communications (television and other, slicker mass print media) made the country more like the city.Therefore our own special rural quality was lost.” DIED AT 99 So, like its main competitor, the Farmer’s Advocate out of London, Ont., which also bit the dust in the ’60s after 99 years of existence, the Family Herald didn't quite make it to the century mark In more recent years, a variety of media have tried partially to fill the Herald's shoes: TV programs such as the CBC’s Country Canada ; glossy magazines for the newly rural; professional periodicals for the specialized agricultural producer; and, in an ongoing microcosm, the community newspaper, often a weekly, which also tries to offer a bit of almost everything to a diversity of readers whose lives centre more around Main Street than skyscrapers.Perhaps the most apropriate epitaph for the Family Herald came from Vern Pope as an August thunderstorm grumbled away from the Chateauguay Valley toward Montreal : “The magazine meant a lot to the people who read it.They felt happy reading it with their sock feet up on the oven door.And we had a feeling of belonging to something which had that kind of value to human beings.” Artificial seed technology could speed crops By Murray Oxby The Canadian Press The University of Guelph is seeking patents on the production of artificial seeds which researchers say can speed the development of field and garden crops.Despite the name, these seeds sprout from the soil like any others.The difference is that artificial seeds can be used to grow thousands of genetically identical copies of an especially gorgeous geranium or a particularly prized alfalfa plant, university researcher Bryan McKersie said in an interview.“It’s the same thing as taking a cutting,” he said.“You’re making a copy of the original plant.” But the artificial seeds — embryonic plants made to behave like real seeds — are much more prolific.While a plant can provide only 20 to 30 cuttings, researchers can produce 6,000 artificial seeds from one plant over a two-month period, said McKersie, who leads the Guelph team with colleague Tissa Senaratna.The researchers have concentrated their efforts over the last 10 years on alfalfa, a common forage crop used as cattle feed.The researchers take a snippet of plant tissue, sterilize it and put it in a dish of nutrients.They add the herbicide 2,4-D to the solution.“This alters the growth pattern of the cells so some begin to act like egg cells that have been fertilized," McKersie said.“They develop into an embryo.” BECOME DORMANT Ordinarily, the embryo would continue to grow into a plant.But the Guelph researchers have succeeded in forcing the embryos to become dormant.They have also made them tolerant of being dried, which allows them to be stored indefinitely.The resulting plants are genetic copies — or clones — of the “parent.” Using the process, a grower could reproduce a particular plant,

times.In the same way, plant breeders can preserve superior characteris-tics in species that reproduce sexually by avoiding crosspollination, McKersie said.It also enables plant breeders to reproduce plants that don’t seed.The artificial seed technology, for which the university is seeking patents in Canada, the United States and Europe, could allow significant international trade in plants for the first time, McKersie said.Shipping plants between countries is virtually restricted for fear of disease.But artificial seeds, produced in a germ-free environment, eliminate that concern, he said.McKersie expects artificial alfalfa seeds to be marketable in 10 years but some flower and vegetable seeds could be ready in five years.The germination rate of the artificial seeds, however, is

LETTER TO MR.PIERRE PARADIS, MINISTER OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS MNA BROME-MISSISQUOI MRS.THERESE LAVOIE-ROUX, MINISTER OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES WE'Ri FED UP In July 1988 your government announced the creation of 20 new beds for troubled youth in various institutions within our region.None of these new facilities will serve Anglophone youth.Why must our Anglophone youth continue to suffer?Our committee deplores the lack of group homes for all youth.Francophone youth have these institutions, Anglophone youth have never had any.Surely the English speaking members of our community are entitled to the same level of service as the majority?It is deplorable that we must write you again concerning the establishment of a group home for troubled Anglophone youth in the Brome Missisquoi area.In spite of several statements of support the situation remains that Anglophone youth must receive help at great distances from their home and communities (over 100 miles AWAY).This situation costs taxpayers 1.5 million dollars in transportation alone.We have the support of the Director of Youth Protection, the Regional Health and Social Services Council, Alliance Quebec, Townshippers’ Association and over three hundred voters and other Associations.We are fed up with the absence of support from the Quebec Government.The need for this group home was first brought to the government's attention in 1980.Since then, many studies have reconfirmed the need.Many individuals and Associations, both Governmental and private, have been working since 1980 to ensure the establishment of such a group home in Brome Missisquoi.The volunteer contribution already exceeds $200,000.Your absence of concrete action puts the community’s efforts in jeopardy.Where are your priorities?While Anglophone youth continue to suffer, millions of dollars in interest free loans and grants are offered to ski hills.The interest from these funds alone could be used to establish the group home.Stop the needless suffering of our youth — Stop the waste of taxpayers money — Stop the TALK — Support our youth — Support your citizens — Deliver the goods and establish the group home, NOW.Signed, Knowlton Cowansville Cowansville West Brome Cowansville Granby THE COMMITTEE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ANGLOPHONE GROUP HOME.Mr.Michael Caluori, President Mr.Peter Dobbin, Mr.Ross Ladd, Mrs.Constance

occurred in the trials to determine the United States team for the forthcoming World Team Olympiad in Venice next month.The trials were held last June, and the members of our team — Bob Ham-man, Seymon Deutsch, Bobby Wolff, Eric Rodwell, Jeff Meckstroth and I — are glad that our bad result did not spoil our successful effort.I certainly hope we don’t have results in Venice like this.When I was North, Bob Hamman jumped to three spades after the one-diamond opening.I played the role of scientist and simply cue-bid four diamonds.Then, when Hamman bid four spades, I timidly passed.With a diamond lead, Hamman easily took 12 tricks.At the other table, North jumped to six spades.He thought that if South could jump to three spades vulnerable, how could six spades not be there?Once again, with the diamond lead, the slam was made.So our team lost on this hand, and maybe I’m the scapegoat.But ask me what I thought West was going to lead if I had bid six spades, and my answer would be a trump.And the opening lead of ace and trump will in fact hold declarer to only 10 tricks.I dare say if any one of us fails to lead trumps when this situation arises in Venice, that player will immediately take a gondola ride without the gondola.James Jacoby’s books “Jacoby on Bridge" and “Jacoby on Card Games" (written with his father, the late Oswald Jacoby) are now available at bookstores.Both are published by Pharos Books.© 1988, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.the absence of the president, vice-president Wallace Mosher presided and welcomed the good attendance.The secretary

Edmonton Eskimo James Bell will sue the CFL club and Riddell Inc., a U.S.-based helmet manufacturer, because of a career-ending spinal injury he suffered two years ago, a lawyer for the former defensive back said in a news release this week.Bell.29, suffered severe injuries that left him an incomplete quadriplegic when he collided with two other players during a game in Vancouver on Sept.19, 1986.His lawyer, Joseph Prodor, said a statement of claim will be filed soon against the Eskimos, North Star Sports (111 Ave.) Ltd., of Edmonton and Riddell Inc., the designer and manufacturer of the helmet Bell was wearing at the time of his injury.Prodor said Bell “has no intention of financially ruining the Eskimo franchise.” However, the Eskimos, despite explicit contractual obligations, and the James Bell Foundation created to raise funds for Bell’s care, “are both not assuming responsibility to.contribute towards the approximately $70,000 of medical costs owed to the University of Alberta Hospital,” he said.PAYS SALARY Eskimos general manager Hugh Campbell said he was unaware of the impending suit and was under the impression Bell’s medical bills had been taken care of.He said he specifically checked the Alberta hospital bill.“I think 1 know what his bills were and I think I know the status of them,” Campbell said.“Some of his bills were covered by insurance and some weren’t.I’m satisfied it’s all under control.” Campbell said the Eskimos have continued to pay Bell his regular salary since the injury even through his contract, and the club’s formal obligation to him, expired in December 1987.“I don’t know if it’s the right thing but I have chosen to continue paying him .we have done our best and are doing our best for James Bell.We will continue to do our best for him whether he sues us or not.” Bell, who lives with his wife in Edmonton, has made a remarkable recovery and this season has watched most of the Eskimo home games from the press box.Although the initial fears were that he would never leave a wheelchair, Bell now walks on his own, although with difficulty, and has limited use of his hands Prodor’s statement said his client is seeking punitive damages against Riddell “alleging the company had knowledge of the defective and dangerous nature of the product” yet continued to market it.His statement also claimed the Eskimos provided Bell with an 11-year old, improperly fitting helmet.A1 Wachowich, chairman of the James Bell Foundation, said if the former player does sue the Eskimos the foundation "will have to re-examine our relationship with him.” Wachowich said Bell had approached the foundation for help but that if the foundation paid the entire $70,000 hospital bill “it would go a long way towards wiping out the foundation’s resources.” The foundation was formed not only to help Bell but also other victims of debilitating injuries.TUIDBN CAR RENTAL A MOVING TRUCKS WEEKEND SPECIALS CHRYSLER
