OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and U.S.President George Bush will be on familiar ground when they meet in Washington on Thursday for discussions focusing on trade and acid rain.Senior Canadian officials, briefing reporters on condition they not be identified, indicated that no great new policies or announcements can be expected from about two hours of meetings between the two leaders.Mulroney “wants precision from the president” on U.S.plans to curb emissions which cause the toxic precipitations, but the Cana- dian side is heading into the informal meeting with few illusions.The U.S.Congress is divided on the question of how best to reduce acid rain, with senators and congressmen from some states favoring strict controls on industrial emissions and others arguing that any new restrictions will cause severe economic damage in their home states.Canada wants eventually to sign an accord with the United States pledging both countries to a 50-percent cut in the level of acid-rain causing emissions.That goal proved elusive during the term of President Ronald Reagan, who the Ca- nadians considered to be not well educated about the causes of the damaging precipitation.MORE AWARE But Bush administration offi cials are seen to have a heightened awareness of the problem and new clean-air legislation is said to be one of the legislative priorities of the current Congress.“At least we’re no longer having to prove that (acid rain) comes from trees,” said one official in reference to Reagan's belief that industrial emission's weren’t solely to blame for acid rain During the Mulroney-Bush discussions, which the official said would be “informal, unstructured and unscripted,’’ there will also be talks on ways of implementing the Canada-U.S.free trade agreement and on the upcoming summit of leaders of NATO countries.On trade, Mulroney will want to impress on Bush “the importance of smooth implementation of the agreement," and the prime minister will tell the president that Canada would like to see the Bush administration work as hard putting the deal in place as the previous administration worked on the no gotiations During the trip to Boston and Washington Mulroney will meet defeated presidential candidate and Massachusetts governor Mi chael Dukakis, visit a library and receive an environmental award from a corporate sponsored group Mulroney has been criticized by some environmentalists for accepting the award from the International Environment Bureau, but one of the officials defended the award by saying that last year’s recipient was the Norwegian prime minister, Gro Harlem Bruntland.‘ ' If it's good enough for the prime minister of Norway, it's good enough for the prime minister of Canada,’’ the official said.Nurses are looking for Politics not only thing Liberals, PQ differ on Fragile — handle with care QUEBEC (CP) — With Quebecers expected to go to the polls later this year, the governing Liberals and the Opposition Parti Québécois are in radically different financial situations for a seven-week election campaign, figures released Monday indicate.Premier Robert Bourassa’s Liberals had a surplus of $7.8 million in 1988, while the PQ posted a deficit of $312,707, Pierre-F.Cote, the province’s chief returning officer, said as he released the 1988 financial returns of Quebec’s political parties.Individuals contributed $8.6 million to the 14 Quebec political parties which filed returns last year About 77 per cent of contributions were for less than $100, while the average donation rose to $96 from $77.Under Quebec law, unions, corporations and associations are prohibited from contributing to political parties, while individuals may give a maximum of $3,000 a year.GOOD FOR DEMOCRACY’ Asked whether the dramatic financial difference between the PQ and the Liberals is good for democracy, Cote replied: “What’s good for democracy is that both parties conform to the law, and get money from individuals.If one of the parties gets more money, it’s up to the voters.“As for democracy, I don’t see any major problems.It’s the phenomenon of the pendulum.At any given time, the electorate favors one party over another.” Despite the PQ’s deficit, Cote said the party’s financial situation has stabilized since last year.“There are fewer expenditures and more contributors,” said Cote, adding the PQ should not have any financial problems if an election is called this spring for the summer.The PQ announced last February that it hoped to raise $2 million by the end of March but the funding drive has had to be be extended and results will be released only in June .The PQ also said in February it would try to collect another $2.5 million once an election is called.Cote said there were few infringements of the electoral law last year, although in Joliette riding, several people were charged after they gave donations of more than $100 in cash to the Liberals.The law stipulates that contributions exceeding $100 be in the form of cheques.The three parties which failed to file returns last year were the Green party of Quebec, the Progressive Conservative party of Quebec and the United Social Credit party.Cote said he may annul the Conservatives’ official status if they have not paid nearly $30,000 in interest debt by mid-June.The party is nearly $200,000 in the red.Another party which is struggling financially with a $389,000 deficit is the once-mighty Union nationale, which governed Quebec for 23 of the 34 years between 1936 and 1970.Infighting to blame for failing multiculturalism EDMONTON (CP)—One of Canada’s top constitutional lawyers says “stingy, vindictive” provinces, a “fickle” Parliament and a “misguided” Supreme Court are causing the disappearance of language minorities in Canada.Joseph Magnet painted a bleak picture for minority language groups fighting against assimilation, at a national conference on official language rights in Edmonton.“Parliament, the legislatures and the courts have no serious policy to counteract assimmila-tion,” said Magnet, a University of Ottawa constitutional law professor who’s been involved in several landmark minority language court cases.Magnet said he sees no end to the shrinking size of linguistic minorities in Canada.To back up his claim.Magnet told about 250 delegates to a conference sponsored by the Centre Constitutional Studies that use of French in the home has declined by as much as 88 per cent in some provinces.In Manitoba, francophones have dropped from 40,000 people in 1971 to 23,000 in 1986, while in Saskatchewan the number has dropped from 16,000 to 6,000 over the same period.In Alberta, the number of people speaking French in the home fell to 17,000 from 23,000 during the same years.The sharp decline of French in Alberta occurred despite a large influx of Quebecers during the oil boom years, Magnet said.“The trends are unmistakable.They tell us where we’re going.We are most of the distance already.” Conference delegate Georges Ares, president of 1’Association canadienne-francaise de 1’Alber-ta, said there’s been a 69.3-percent assimilation rate in Alberta over the past few decades.Ares warned the trend will continue unless Ottawa gives francophones the funding and moral support necessary to battle assimilation.Group wants Armed Forces to take on a new spill crew OTTAWA (CP) - A medical lobby group wants Canada to add an emergency force trained to tackle environmental clean-up and disaster relief to its Armed Forces.The force could become a national specialty to rival our international peacekeeping efforts, said Dr.Mary-Wynne Ashford, president of Canadian Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.The organization, representing 6,000doctors, held its three-day annual meeting in Ottawa on the weekend.Ashford said Canadian defence should include protection against oil spills, radiation leaks, chemical fires and other disasters.Two large oil spills on me west coast and a fire in a PCB storehouse in Quebec have shown that “we feel quite helpless in disasters." Ashford said the proposal calls for a special emergency response force to be set up within the military.There would be a large medical corps and the forces would be housed at military bases.Their skills would include handling earthquake relief and clean-up.race riots, radiation accidents and environmental disasters.“Eventually the Canadian force should be made available to the United Nations in the same way our peacekeeping forces are available.” '«¦**** f ; L Quebec Police Force bomb squad cops came all the way to Danville from Montreal Monday after farmer Robert Frechette found a pile

which has forced hospitals to close hundreds of beds and cancel elective surgery, the president of the Quebec Federation of Nurses said Monday.“Until we have obtained major concessions, we ll refuse to work overtime,” said Diane Lavallee.As 6(H) nurses demonstrated in front of the legislature at noon Monday, Lavallee said the union will negotiate days and evenings, seven days a week, starting Wed nesday The nurses have been refusing to work overtime since April 21 in a bid to gain better working conditions and increased wages.Nineteen hospitals in Quebec, including 15 in Montreal, dosed 512 beds Monday because of lack of nurses, said Michel Cleroux, spo kesman for the Quebec Hospitals Association.Hospitals closed 7(K) beds on Sunday The nurses union, whose 40.(KM) members make up 90 per cent of Quebec’s nurses, is asking for average raises of 20.5 per cent in the first year of a three year contract, followed by 5.4 per cent annually.Quebec has offered 4 per cent for one year.Wages start at $24,(MM) a year for the nurses.Their top rate is $33,(MM) a year after 12 years of service, the lowest in Canada after Newfoun dland.Canadians have to tighten belts under budget By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP) — Canadians are facing a spell of hefty federal taxes — in fact, the third heaviest since the Second World War, says the federal budget.Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s budget, released last week, says Ottawa plans to collect $120.8 billion from Canadians in a wide range of income, corporate and sales taxes by the 1990-91 fiscal year.That would be 17.9 per cent of Canada’s projected gross domestic product — the value of all the goods and services produced in a year.And by 1993-94, the long-range plans show the tax measures will bring in $146 billion, or 18.2 percent of Canada’s GDP.Wilson told the Commons on Monday he needs higher taxes to fight the mounting $322-billion national debt that’s been accumulating over the past 20 years.“If we don’t get this problem under control, we are going to leave a mess for our children.” A Finance Department official said the last time Ottawa collected so much revenue as a percentage of GDP was in the 1974-76 period, when government tax revenues rose as high as 19.4 per cent.Before that, the largest tax bite was in 1946-47.Ottawa poured on so many taxes in that period to pay off war debt and rebuild that revenues climbed to 25.5 per cent of GDP The high level of taxes continued until the early 1950s and the Korean War.MORE PAINFUL David Perry, of the Canadian Tax Foundation in Toronto, said the current tax grab is even more painful if a taxpayer considers that provincial tax revenues have risen a lot faster than Ottawa’s.Perry said Canadians paid high taxes to pay for the Second World War in the 1940s and expand social program in the 1970s.“Right now, we are concentra ting on paying the interest on the public debt.” In the Commons on Monday, New Democratic Leader Ed Broadbent said Canadians who are filling out 1988 tax returns are angry at the way the government has spread the tax burden The deadline for filing 1988 tax returns was midnight Monday.Broadbent said the richest one per cent of Canadians — “those who drive around in their BMWs” — will actually get a tax cut from Wilson’s budget, while lower- income Canadians will pay more.But Wilson said higher-income Canadians will pay a higher in come tax surcharge and a number of tax loopholes for the wealthy have been eliminated.And Wilson defended his government’s decision to maintain the $100,(MX) tax exemption for capital gains, saying it will mainly benefit farmers and small businessmen.In last week’s budget, Wilson cut $1.5 billion from spending programs in his war on the soaring public debt But his weapon of choice was higher taxes.Taxes on incomes, corporations, consumers goods will raise an additional $3.6 billion in 1989-90 and a whopping $7 billion in extra revenue in 1990-91, says Wilson’s fiscal plan.Bouchard ready to discuss cuts with Via Rail OTTAWA (CP) — Via RaU will find out first hand Wednesday from Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard how Ottawa proposes to slash financial support for passenger trains.Bouchard said Monday that he’ll meet the Via board of directors in Montreal “to give them more detail about the plan itself.” The key item will be the reference levels for government support-just how money Ottawa will give Via during the next five years.The Mulroney government said in last week's budget that support to Via.which was $641 million in the 1988-89 fiscal year, would be cut by $100 million in the current fiscal year and reduced further in each of the next four years.Many transport observers have concluded that means federal support for Via would be cut by $100 million a year and be down to about $150 million annually by the mid-1990s.In the budget, Finance Minister Michael Wilson said'ôhly that the government will save $500 million “from the amounts previously budgeted for Via and substantially more from the level of subsidy that would be necessary to maintain the status quo.” That has lead to speculation that the cut in federal support might not go as low as the $150 million figure.Bouchard said he won’t say what support Via will get until he meets the railway’s board Once Via knows how much money it will get, “it will get a couple of months to figure out its future ,”said Bouchard.That could in elude closing some lines, getting provincial governments to take over regional trains or even privatizing the railway.Sherbrooke marcher stepping for peace MONTREAL (CP) — Carrying messages of peace for the children of the world, Anatole Maleporo set off Monday on a 613-kilometre trek to United Nations headquarters in New York City.Maleporo, 26, of Sherbrooke, plans to walk a total of 2,053 kilometres through 10 countries this year.And in 1990 he hopes to take his Crusade for Peace and Children to Africa.“I want to sensitize as many people as possible in support of world peace and stimulate other projects that will help children live in peace,” he told reporters outside Montreal city hall."The children of today are the future We have to give them a chance .to live in peace,” said Maleporo who figures he has spent about $10,000 of his own money on the project so far.About half of the $70,000 budget for the venture is being picked up the Canadian Institute for Peace and International Security, a federal government agency, said Robert Lussier, a spokesman for UNICEF Quebec which is providing “moral and technical sup port.” Maleporo, who owns a small public relations firm in Sherbrooke, plans to reach New York City May 15, walking an average of 43 kilometres a day to commemorate UNICEF's 43 years.Anatole Maleporo

ended in neardisaster Monday when the landing gear of a low-flying airplane smashed into a car’s windshield.A spokesman for the Quebec Police Force said a cameraman was injured when the light Cessna airplane collided with the car, then made an emergency landing in a field near St-Hilaire.The cameraman, who is under observation in hospital with only minor injuries, was in the car filming a scene for the popular French-language TV program Surprise sur prise, which is shown on the Quatre-Saisons network.Anne-Marie Tougas, a spokesman for the show’s producers, said the crew was filming some supplementary footage after wrapping up a gag involving Quebec singer Ginette Reno.The Canadian Aviation Safety Board is investigating the accident.The Townships .5#" ¦ mm Two-in-one day: Sherbrooke

Belgium and Germany.Mercier, now 91, began his military career as a batman for an officer in the Canadian Army.He later went on to become a machine-gunner on the front lines.Mercier, who was never wounded, recalls that the worst of the war was at Vimy, France, where 'retreat was forbidden ’ though enemy machine guns added relentlessly to Allied casualties.After the war Mercier went to work at

temperature, a bone chilling 37 degrees (F).“What the devil am I doing here?” I asked myself.I was standing, my teeth doing an imitation of a flamenco dancer’s castinets, with the butt end of my graphite spinning rod tucked into a rod holder on Larry Ethier’s 18-foot fiberglass boat.We were trolling for trout on Lake Mem-phremagog.Fishing on opening morning of the new fishing season is a time honored tradition for heart-and-soul anglers in the Eastern Townships.No matter the weather conditions, false dawn sees a line-up of cars and boat trailers at every possible launching site on every body of water that holds a resident population of landlocked salmon (Oua-naniche), brown, grey or rainbow trout.CRACKED THE ICE Last Friday morning was no exception and Larry Ethier, Murray Brown and myself cracked paper-thin shore ice that had formed around the dock in Knowlton Landing.We were wearing our warmest winter clothing and carried full thermos bottles of piping hot beverages.Even at 6 a m.there were already three boats slowly working the shoreline of Sargent’s Bay.We fol- Forest and Lake i 4M With Jim .awrence lowed their boatprints at a slow speed.We each chose the lure we thought surface feeding salmonids would attack.My fishing companions chose natural smelt-colored floating Rapalas, while I insisted a blaze-red Rapala would produce better results.We soon discovered that Sargent’s Bay was not producing fish — for anybody, on any lure! Further down the lake Quinn Bay was still partially iced in, although we were able to troll the east shore of Molson’s Island — again with no success.PUT IT BACK, JIM The shoreline behind Long Island produced a small rainbow for me, which I was shamed into putting back, even though it was a few centimeters over minimum size (and there’s more to be said about that).Within half an hour Ethier landed a 20-inch landlocked salmon and a few minutes later Brown had one slightly smaller.been catching fish as well.Mac-Pherson Bay had produced a five-pound brown and a number of smaller landlocked salmon for one angler.The ice north of Round island was “punky” at the edge, but further out it was two to three inches thick and solid.It could be another week before it clears.The edge of the ice gave up two 11-pound greys for another boatload of opening morning anglers.They managed to lose a much larger fish after a ten minute struggle, but the exact details of the loss are unexplained.Though it was overcast with a cold north wind blowing a chop and occasional snow flurries, the day was deemed a success as fishermen all over the lake experienced the same good luck.Floating Rapalas of every color, size and style were the most popular fish-getters.A few were caught on Memphre-magog-smelt flies and one angler even claimed success with a tiny Daredevil.QUIT BY NOON Saturday was dismal.Although the sun was out, the air temperature still made long-johns and winter jackets a must.Few if any fish were landed by anyone.Our group was totally “skunked” and we left the lake before noon.Sunday I caught a 4V2 pound Oua-naniche at about 8 in the morning from Terry Willard's boat, off the edge of the pack ice that still locked in the southern end of the lake.Again my blaze-red florescent Rapala was the fish getter.That was the only strike we had and Sam Bailey, Willard and I decided to call it quits in mid afternoon.Talking to other anglers, it seemed my ‘salmon’ was one of very few boated on Sunday.That catch went very well with a bottle of chilled white wine after baking in tin-foil with lemon and onion slices.There’s something about fresh caught, cold-water trout that can’t be matched.In general Friday more fish were taken although a few were caught Saturday and Sunday.The consensus was that the unusually-cold water temperature was at fault and that when the lake warms in the next few weeks spring fishing will improve.FREE FISH Government fishery people were stocking trout fingerlings at Vale Perkins on Saturday to make certain fish levels remain high for years to come.The most popular spring fishing area was still solid ice on the weekend and until warm rain and southern winds break it up and away from the shore, anglers will have to be content with the northern end of the lake.The next few weeks should provide anglers with a spring harvest if they keep to the shorelines and troll smelt-like lures.Most anglers agree that “when they’re biting” they’ll take any lure that’s presented.In another month the fish will seek deeper water as the surface warms to summer temperatures, but for the next week or so good catches will be made on all Townships lakes by fishermen trolling the top 18 inches.fe Q lia** Q Larry Ethier: Knowlton Landing skipper dressed for warmth on opening weekend.—_____ftgl JmSCQTu George MacLaren, Publisher.569-9511 Randy

The seven regional municipalities in the eastern half of the Townships are mobilizing themselves to defend the environment.The new Regional Environment Committee for the Sherbrooke area announced its arrival on the ‘green’ scene Monday at the Maison de l’Eau to kick off Environment Month.The committee is drawn from elected officials, envi ronmental groups and other local organizations.The 22-member committee is intended to be a watchdog group and according to one observer its impact will be felt because of its balanced representation.“I’m convinced (the body will be effective) because after all.if you have a committee made up of people from all walks of life, then the government is going to pay attention,” said Wells Coates, mayor of Westbury and MRC warden for Haut St-François."It's a vigilance committee more or less.” The new environmental group.à / which comes under the Table des Municipalités Régionales de Comté has three general objectives: • To collect and compare informa tion on the environment • To publicize pertinent findings to both government and citizens • To incite regions to take a posi tion on ecological problems.Like a new Eastern Townships anti-waste coalition formed last week, the MRC committee also stressed the importance of indivi duals getting involved in local clean-up.One Sherbrooke group is taking that advice and spreading the news.Ville en Santé, a City of Sherbrooke organization, has seven projects underway to educate the public on how to control pollution and reduce waste.TOXIC W ASTE PICK-UP On May 13.for example, the group is holding a special collec tion of toxic domestic products like old paint cans and cleaners.The public is asked to bring their troublesome garbage to the parking lot of the Groupe SM, at the corner of Industrial and Portland Boulevards.Ville en Santé co-ordinator Louise Gosselin says it's up to the person on the street to make an effort."We want the citizen to take responsibility for his own health,” she said.Asked how Sherbrooke residents rate on the environment, Gosselin said they are pretty good.“There's a collective consciousness — except that there was a lack of lea dership ’’ Other projects for Ville en Santé include establishing non smoking sections in restaurants, and the group recently led a tree-planting effort in Sherbrooke's east ward Gosselin said a campaign to re duce the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture is also underway CLEAN UP RIVER Coates said potential concerns for his Haut St-François MRC mainly Compton County — is contamination of the St.Francis River.On the positive side.Coates said the sanitary landfill between Bury and East Angus is an excel lent facility.The regional environment committee is led by the MKCs president Jean Paul Guillotte.mayor of South Stukely Guillotte emphasized the importance of a collective environmental effort among muni cipalities Progress will be monitored by the new committee which will meet several times a year.Along with Guillotte, the environmental committee includes seven municipal members and seven environmental representatives — one of each named by each MRC Seven other members were named by the MRC Table The MRCs of the Estrie region include: Coaticook, Granit.Haut St-François.Memphremagog.l’Or Blanc, Sherbrooke and Val Saint-François.U.S.waste should stay at home

Bueno., waste trade.’ 'Ban hazardous- ly John Tollefsrud SHERBROOKE — Greenpeace came to town Monday for a private meeting with three members of a newly formed coalition seeking to end toxic waste trade between Ca nada and the United States.Strategies and documents were exchanged between the two sides, including phone and telecopier numbers of contacts and officials.The established king of environmental groups had a clear message of support.Spokeswoman Regina Bueno said Greenpeace advocates a total ban on trading toxic garbage, encourages the establishment of recycling programs and favors reducing — if not eliminating — production of toxic waste.SCRAP AGREEMENT But the topic of the day was toxic waste.Bueno said a 1986 Canada U.S.agreement on cross border transport of hazardous goods should be scrapped “Our basic philosophy is to ask a ban on the hazardous waste trade, the reason being: once hazardous waste has become a commodity, you can’t keep track of what hap pens to that waste,” she said Bueno also condemned Ottawa for not holding producers of toxic waste accountable for industrial byproducts — a practice the Uni ted States adopted years ago “We strongly believe hazardous waste is the responsibility of the producer,” she said.In the U.S.“the generator is responsible for the hazardous waste from cradle-to grave.” Bueno said notification and manifest documents are forwarded between the sender and receiver of toxic waste through Environment Canada hut no government official signs the papers She said in the U.S.the forms are available at lo^ cal convenience stores.Bueno agreed to further mee tings later with the anti waste group's Pierre Morin, Sylvia Rolfe and Andrf* M linger.The three are all employees of local health and social service departments but say they are on the committee as indi viduals concerned with the environment.‘Getting the plans back next week’ — Jacques Campbell North Hatley: Mayor delays park talks while waiting for details By Ann McLaughlin NORTH HATLEY — Mayor Jacques Campbell has changed his mind.He decided Monday that a regular town council meeting was not the place to discuss a conten tious park proposal, and instead he would host a public consultation.Residents handed a petition to town council two weeks ago asking that park plans be put on hold.Campbell then said he would put their worries to rest at the monthly council meeting Monday evening.But on Friday residents of North Hatley found in their mailboxes a bright yellow flyer from the mayor, briefly summarizing plans for the seven acre park behind Pil-sen Pub on Main Street.“The project presently stands at $300,000 for a parking lot, building with washrooms, information booth and changing rooms for the skating rink, a skating rink, sewer and water pipes, lighting and landscaping for the remainder of the lot,” said the municipal communi qué signed by Campbell and councillor Elizabeth Brown.Another flyer circulated Satur- day — this one from president Pau line Beaudoin of the North Hatley Homeowners Association.Beau doin complained that "the finance guardians of the municipality” have no direction.She said she in tended to get to the bottom of the park plan, and encouraged all to turn out for council.Details were scarce at Monday’s meeting and the mayor was not about to elaborate to the few dozen residents present.AWAITS DETAILS Council does not know particu lars on the park because “the ar chitects have not finished the plans,” Campbell said, adding that the town’s original park proposal was sent back to the drawing board with a list of modifications.“You can make a budget for a new house but you don’t know how you’ll use the money until you see the architect’s plans,” Campbell said.“We will be getting the plans back next week and will probably call the public meeting in ten days,” Campbell said, adding that it will be well advertised “Can t you just wait for the pu blic meeting?” he asked the crowd.One citizen wanted to know why plans and money for the park are moving forward while plans for a town water reservoir are not HYDRANTS EMPTY?“There is no water for some fire hydrants.Don’t you think this should have priority over a parking lot?”.But council said it is working on the reservoir, that North Hatley has been spending money for three years on extensive planning and that these plans are slowly getting off the ground.New pipes are to be installed around parts of Lake Massawippi over the summer, the mayor said.Campbell explained that coun cil’s attention seems focused main ly on the park

Sharon McCully SUTTON — Sutton Township Mayor Winston Bresee was tight-lipped at last night’s council meeting regarding the municipality’s hiring of two security guards.Asked during question period to confirm the hiring of the security guards Bresee told one citizen, “I don’t intend to discuss it with you.” When pressed further he said.“Two agents were hired at the cost of $2200 to protect an individual or individuals who were threatened.” One angry taxpayer demanded to know who was threatened and why citizens of the municipality were not able to receive answers to their questions from council.“1 don’t think we’re the fifth column in Sutton Township,” she said.Councillor Derek Hill tabled a letter with council stating his opposition to the firing without adequate consultation of town treasurer Suzanne Lessard.RE-INSTATED The letter was followed by a proposal from Councillor Germain La-rouche recommending that Les- sard be re instated since she was not present to defend herself against the charges of incompetence lodged against her.The motion was defeated in a 3-2 vote.Responding to a request to expand the town’s urbanism committee to include members of the newly-established citizen’s group to avoid unnecessary duplication, Mayor Bresee insisted both groups must work independently.Bresee rejected the idea of opening internal discussions of the urban planning committee before 60 days.“Both committees should work independently and develop their ideas before coming together,” the mayor said.Asked if citizens could at least attend the urbanism meetings as observers, Bresee responded with a terse, “No.” On the status of septic systems in the Glen Sutton area.Mayor Bresee promised a decision on which route the township will take within 60

crime, ranking right up there with war crimes and torture.News of a shocking child-abuse episode over the weekend should be an early-warning flare in the skies over Quebec City which should prompt the government into reforming the current child-protection system.On Saturday, an internal report by the Committee of Youth Protection revealed that two young boys from Hull were sexually abused by up to 15 adults.The evidence — including hospital records of physical violence and penis infections — clearly indicates the child-protection agency for the Hull area had failed miserably, neglecting the boys for three years despite calls for immediate intervention by local doctors, community health nurses and a neighbor.The heinous nature of the horrific sexual and criminal acts committed on the defenceless boys cannot be overstated but it must also be said that the system in place to protect Quebec children is in serious need of reform.In the entire West Quebec area, including Hull, there are reportedly nine health-care workers to handle 450 waiting cases, with an expected 1000 new cases each year.In June of last year Quebec had a record figure of nearly 4200 children on protection-agency waiting lists.The numbers indicate an urgent problem which warrants action, not further study.In Sherbrooke last Friday, provincial youth court judge Andrée Ruffo told members of the Richilieu Women’s Club that the welfare of children is a shared responsibility of not only parents, but also teachers, neighbors and other individuals.Ruffo also burst the bubble of a common assumption.“Society presumes that parents are best suited to decide what is right for their children,” she said.“But when parents break this presumption, that is when the courts come into play.” Parents who assault or abet in the assault of their children have betrayed the human trust within a family to protect, educate and care for their children.With the number of these inhuman cases on the rise in Quebec, the authorities must intervene more often and punishment must be harsher.Children who face abuse, not just in life-threatening cases, must be removed from their parents immediately and the parents given psychiatric treat ment and or criminal sentences foi their crimes Make no mistake aboutit child abuse is very real, often deadly and is society’s business.There can be no more excuses for the government to get its act together on child protection.There must be more personnel, more money and more vigilence in a system which currently leaves the most helpless members of society even more so.JOHN TOLLEFSRUD Letters An open letter to The Honorable Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister of Canada, Parliament Buildings, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A2 Dear Sir: At a meeting which Mr.Robert Harper (of Bury, Quebec) and I both attended recently, he gave me a copy of his letter written to you in January of this year and printed in The Record (Sherbrooke), along with a copy of your response.I can easily understand why he found your reply unsatisfactory.Surely Mr.Harper and I are not the only Canadians who see a good deal of shallow piety in your expression of disapproval of the actions of Mr.Bourassa and his government in their use of the notwithstanding clause to Fail to understand what Meech Lake does deny many Canadian citizens the use of their language(s) freely and openly.You leave yourself open to the scorn of millions of Canadians when you blame a former Canadian government for the notwithstanding clause being an overwhelming concession to the provinces’* even though we recognize truth in that statement If you and the government of Canada were actually as troubled by that clause as you pretend to be, you would not attempt to foist upon this nation a set of constitutional amendments which fail to remove the villainous clause.Meech Lake, to quote you, Sir, and the ten premiers of the day, in “Wrapping up unfinished business.” fails to wrap up and remove that clause which you call a “fundamental flaw in the 1982 Constitution Act ” If you, as Prime Minister of Canada had acted as profoundly as you write when drafting the Meech Lake amendments, the so-called accord would by now have been adopted by all provinces and incorporated in the country’s Constitution.Many of us recognize in Meech Lake not a solution to the dilemma which these letters address, but an irreparable exacerbation of it.Meech Lake’s now infamous distinct society clause, unless defined, encourages Quebec to accelerate and intensify its efforts to reinforce its distinct character ; and one way in which Quebec is now prohibiting any language other than French, even an official language, from public exposure for commercial purposes except in very li- mited circumstances indoors For you.Mr.Mulroney, to suggest to Mr.Harper that Meech Lake will help, or even make possible the improvement of his situation in Quebec reveals a very worrying flaw in your thinking.It tells Mr.Harper and many others, that you either fail to understand what Meech Lake does or you attempt to mislead.These two possibilities should, and do, worry millions of Canadians, one of whom took the trouble to express his concerns to you directly.Your response to Mr.Harper is an insult to his intelligence.I share his sentiments.Your sincerely, DONALD L.HEALY Melbourne The real shame is the demand for abortion Dear Editor I was very sad when I read the article by Mr.Scott David Harrison.Abortion is for the woman to decide.As a woman with three children I can’t understand the statements made in that article.In the first place it shouldn’t just be up to the woman alone to decide whether or not her unborn lives.What about the father of this life?And shouldn't it be up to God to decide about who lives and who dies?Doesn’t he also count?Anyone who thinks that having an abortion is every woman’s democratic right should ask themselves why women should have the privelege to decide between life and death for the unborn, where no one else in our society can.Editorial expressed silent majority* 1 s sentiments Dear Sir: My sincerest thanks to the editor, publisher and author for having the intestinal fortitude to publish an editorial pertaining to the controversial abortion issue in April 19,1989 edition of the Record To properly set the facts in perspective was long overdue and most appreciated.Mr.Harrison accurate- ly expressed the silent majority’s sentiments when he stated that while most don’t agree with the subject, by what God given right do the very vocal minority have to enforce their narrow minded beliefs (all too often dictated solely by their religious convictions completely devoid of any human compassion) on another individual?Mr.Harrison’s last three para- graphs should be carefully scrutinized by all these vocal antiabortionists perhaps, then, the true aspect of the issue will finally be revealed to them.Sincerely yours, GEORGE A.MATHESON Sherbrooke No, the real shame of this matter is the demand for abortion.It makes me I sick how it is all right with so many to [ discard our unborn as privately as possible and think nothing of it.If we don’t respect life within us.how can [ we respect life around us?I think it’s important that we ask | ourselves this question.Sincerely LILLI BOULDMAN I Baldwins Mills | In the Record's letters to

fair play By Bruce Cheadle WINNIPEG (CP) — Sixty people furiously scribbled notes in a darkened lecture hall at the University of Manitoba as the speaker, a visiting professor from the United States, showed slides of kids having fun For the assembled parents, coaches and teachers who paid $35 to attend the April seminar on fair play, this is serious business.Six months after Canadians were rocked with the news of Ben Johnson s positive test for steroids in Seoul and the subsequent loss of his Olympic gold medal, the fallout is being felt in communities across the country.“It has focused people on really whether it’s worth winning at all costs,” said Wayne Hildahl, the director of a Winnipeg sports medicine centre.He said the Johnson scandal was one of the central issues raised by delegates at the University of Manitoba symposium, the first of its kind held in concert with the federal Commission for Fair Play.“The impact Ben Johnson had on my students was astonishing,’’ said delegate Dianne McLean, a primary school teacher from Portage la Prairie, Man.“There were tears they were so upset.It surprised me.” McLean, like many across Canada, doesn’t want the lesson of Seoul to fade.“I think with the younger kids it can do some good I think we can reach them.You’re never too young to learn about fair play.” The conference included a panel discussion on ethics by four amateur athletes and workshops on the physical and mental aspects of children’s sport.“It really comes down to changing the attitudes of the all participants in sport — the coaches, the athletes, the sport administration, the spectators, the officials,” said Hildahl.“What the conference said was they should all be working together, not in the adversarial roles you get now.” The small, Ottawa-based commission was established in June 1986 mainly in response to violence in amateur hockey.With 20 representatives from the Canadian sports community and several major corporate sponsors on side, the commission’s mandate was to promote ethics in sport.“Prior to Ben Johnson people paid lip service to fair play,” said Joy Harrison, commission co-ordinator.“Fair play was a nice notion.But it has meaning now.fairly strong meaning.” Canadians also are realizing, thanks to the federal inquiry on drugs in sport chaired by Charles Dubin.that cheating in international athletics is widespread and that Johnson’s fall from grace was no isolated incident The drug scandal and the inquiry has given the Fair Play Commission new purpose and direction The Christian Science Monitor /f"' V :P Dunkin McMansonville and the great budget leak It was exactly a long time ago when my long-lost relative Dunkin McMansonville was asked by the assembled chiefs of the Abenaki to explain how he was going to spend the money he took from them under the guise of taxes.Knowing Dunkin’s most unpleasant habit of flying into angry rages if questioned about his management of public funds, (Nothing changes does it?) the chiefs appointed Youfathead, a relatively unpopular minor chief, to approach Dunkin with their request.Dunkin took the birchbark letter from Youfathead without any visible signs of rage, much to everyone’s surprise.They didn't know that Dunkin had just consumed a gallon of his famous potato vodka (enough to embalm the average wood buffalo) and was incapable of speech, let alone read their scribbled request.When he sobered-up he flew into a wild rage, however nobody but his great ugly wife Highwater was around to watch (and she wasn't impressed) so his ravings were wasted “Budgit?Budgit?They want a bud-git do they?” he screamed.“I’U give them a budgit they’ll never fergit!" He sent off a woods-runner for Mike Wilfather his slightly demented Minister of Money For two days they laboured over a document high in the attic of the McMansonville Hotel.Highwater could only hear the scratching of their pencils and the occasional evil giggle as they thought up another way to raise and spend public funds.Finally they exited from the attic, hollow-eyed from lack of sleep but with huge nasty grins plastered Where the pavement ends ) JIM LAWRENCE across their faces.Dunkin announced they would make public the contents of the budget at a special meeting of the chiefs the following day.As was his custom he went out and kicked a couple of loafers at the gate.Carelessly Mike Wilfather left a rough copy of the budget in the pocket of his buckskin trousers.When he took his pants to be washed, Youfathead, who did all the laundry for the tribe, found the document and took it immediately to the chiefs.Since none of them could read they took the document to the wharf where Dunkin’s son Perkins lived.Perkins was so ugly he wore a discarded potato sack as a veil and was known as Veilled Perkins.Perkins could read, having been taught sanskrit as a child.Fortunately Dunkin only wrote in sanskrit, so Perkins was able to read the document to the chiefs, after first demanding and receiving $1.32 for his labour.“Whall,” he began “It say here they's gonna raise the price of booze agin (Ever since then that's the first thing governments think of when they need more cash), they’s gonna raise the price of terbaccy an the price of dog foods.” The chiefs groaned aloud.I Perkins continued “On toppa all that they’s puttin’ a new sail tax on alia yer boats.They’s decided to cut back on funding of Abenaki affairs, food stamps for the unemployed, money to mothers and anything else you might get outta them.” .“Ain’t there anythin' good about it?” I asked Youfathead.“Whall, remember alia them boats you didn’t want ’em to buy?” “Yes” “Well they ain’t gonna buy ’em.” Perkins scratched his head.“It looks like they's tellin alia us thet they wants us to give ’em more money so they can give us back a hole lot less.Dunkin claims the countree’s in terrible shape.We gotta cut back on everything.Seems they’s willing to cut back too, axcep on their saleries and expense counts!” Youfathead rose to his feet.“Me tired of this crap!” he announced “Me gettin’ out while the gettin’s good!” Within minutes the entire tribe had picked up their belongings, packed their dog carts and moved to the other side of the flexible border that was watched by Dunkin’s cousin Douaine (see Dunkin McMansonville and the elastic border, Record 26/1/88) who owned the customs house.They were Douaine’s Customs! When Perkins realized what he had done he raced tearfully to Dunkin’s house and told him the details of the whole mess and how he'd been forced to read the document at gunpoint, ar-rowpoint, spearpoint and gunpowder- point.“Damnation!” raged Dunkin “I shudda known they’d be a leak! Thet icehole Mike Wilfather can’t be trus ted to keep a secret longerin a minnit.” He called Wilfather and asked him what he was going to do about it.“Whal,” said Wilfather “I’m resigned to the fact everbuddy move away.” “Resigned?Resigned?” fumed Dunkin “That’s the word I was lookin' fer.I’ll resign you, you.” To avoid physical damaged Wilfather took off down the road as if he were being chased by hounds, which in fact he was, as soon as Dunkin got back to the kennel and opened the gate.Wilfather was chased across the border and was never heard of again.Dunkin turned to Perkins and gave him a playful punch in the ear.“Whal.son, watta ya learnt about running a govermint?” he asked.Perkins had a short think.“Whal, Paw, I figger thet if yore bringin' in a budgit you gotta watch out fer leaks in case everybody jest moves away afore you can hit them with all yer new taxes.” “And?” "And if they is a leak, then yer Minister of Money gotta be resigned right away.If not the dogs’ll catch him afore he gits to the border!” Perkins’ words were preserved on the pages of Dunkin's only real legacy: his handbook of “Modem Government Policy”, of which there remains no trace as all copies were burned.Perhaps! v The RECORD—Tuesday, May 2.198»—5 Farm and Business Rcconl Tourism facing tough times after budget?OTTAWA (CP) — Individual American states will spend more on tourism promotion than the Canadian government following a one-third cut in the tourism department’s international marketing budget, says an industry group.The Tourism Industry Association of Canada said Monday the drop — announced in the federal budget last week — comes at a time when foreign competition for tourist dollars is intense.“The introduction of cuts to the federal marketing budget, just when new taxes are increasing the cost to the private sector, is extremely poor timing,” association president Bill Rowe said in a release.“And by shifting the full burden of the unemployment insurance program to employers and employees, the cost to the labor-intensive tourism industry will be substantial.” Budget papers said the ISO-million marketing budget will be reduced in stages to $20 million, beginning with a $5 million slash in 1990-91.Higher taxes on alcohol, gasoline, aviation fuel and telecommunications will also increase tourism operators’ costs Furthermore, expansion or renovations will also cost more due to changes to the federal manufacturers’ sales tax.BIGGEST IMPACT But the new nine-per-cent federal sales tax on most goods and services, to take effect in January 1991.will have the biggest impact on the industry, Rowe explained “The resulting six-per-cent to nine-per-cent increase expected in the prices of most tourism products will encourage Canadians to seek less costly destinations outside the country and will discourage foreign visitors.” The Tourism Research Institute of the Conference Board of Canada has predicted that by 1993, Canadians will spend $4.3 billion more outside Canada each year than foreign visitors will spend here The industry association said that by 1993, that figure will be about $500 million higher than would be the case if the new federal sales tax was not introduced.It also estimates about 25,000 fewer new tourism jobs will be created by 1993 as a result of the tax The association, Rowe said, supports reform of the tax system but “our industry could tolerate a rate of five per cent."Nine per cent is too onerous.” The industry contributes $21 bil lion annually to the country’s gross national product and $6,3 billion in foreign exchange earnings The association represents 60,000 businesses involved in the tourism industry Tax increases may result in auto industry layoffs By Marilyn Ronald OTTAWA (CP) — Tax increases in the federal budget will cut deeply into disposable income, push car and retail sales down and produce a significant slowing in the Ontario economy, analysts said Monday.They described higher income and federal sales taxes announced in the budget released Wednesday as hitting consumers on the head with a two-by-four and a shot of cold water on already slowing retail and auto sales.Consumers were stung with a $3.6-billion jump in federal sales and excise taxes in a budget the Consumers’ Association of Canada called a disaster.“Budget measures will produce a significant slowdown in the Ontario economy,” said Ben Gestrin, a vice-president of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, adding that the province’s auto industry will be particularly hard hit.“In combination, continuing high interest rates and the budget will put a real damper on housing and consumer spending.That will be felt very strongly in the Ontario economy.” Financial analyst Len Kubas said he thinks tax increases will result in a drop of about half a per cent in real growth of consumer spending.The auto industry will feel the effects of higher taxes and reduced household disposable income the most.And, he said, the effect may be severe enough to result in layoffs in the industry and some plant closures.Auto industry analyst Dennis DesRosiers predicted earlier this month that faced with a 24-percent decline in March sales compared to the same month last year, the major automakers may soon start temporary layoffs.Kubas said increased taxes will eat deeply into disposable income, especially next year when the full effect of the measures has taken hold DOUBLE WHAMMY “Both retail and car sales are being hit with a double whammy when you combine reduced disposable income with (Canadians’) increasing inclination to save money in a high interest rate period ” Analyst Tom Delaney said car sales and housing will both be hurt, “especially in Ontario where there will be a major shakeout in consumer spending when you combine the effects of high interest rates and higher taxes.” “I’d hate like hell to be an Ontario autoworker right now,” he said, adding that Finance Minister Mi chael Wilson had hit consumers over the head with a two-by-four.John Crow, governor of the Bank of Canada, has maintained a high interest rate policy in an attempt to contain inflation, which is at its highest level in Ontario.Gestrin, asked whether Wilson had to hit consumers so hard, replied that the balance struck by the budget between reductions in federal expenditures and tax increases was one-sided.CIBC, he said, has calculated that in the 1990-91 tax year, higher federal revenues will account for about 77 per cent of deficit reduction.“He should have had a better balance between expenditure reductions and higher taxes." Gestrin added he believes the probability of recession is higher than it was only weeks ago and that, in the face of the budget, consumers have little option but to cut spending.And Art Good, an analyst with Clarkson Gordon, said he expects higher taxes to flatten retail and auto sales.“This budget was crafted to hit middle- and high-income earners.They’re the people who do most of the spending.Consumer spending has driven the economy during the last three to four years.“Wilson wanted to cool out that consumer demand He has poured cold water on a lot of people That will be evident in sales figures within three months.” Canadian goods find good friend in Japan By Darry l Gibson TOKYO iCP' — J apan’s hunger for Canadian food rose 27 per cent last year.With Japan importing the equi valent of $40 billion Cdn worth of food from around the world, Ca nada’s share was $2 11 billion up from $1,66 billion in 1987.Canadian food exports to J apan now are double those to all 19 countries in Western Europe “The Japanese are interested in almost everything we have to offer," a Canadian trade official in Tokyo said in an interview “We’re shipping meat, fish, grain, processed foods, animal feed, oilseeds and dozens and do zens of other items.” Canadian french fries, for example, have a 15-per-cent share of the Japanese market.Last year, Canadian live horses, canned crab, canned lobster, mineral water and bread mixes moved into the Japanese market as strong new entries.Exports boomed in cattle, chicks, poultry, clams, frozen crab and lobster, cod, buckwheat, honey, frozen vegetables, whisky, mustard seed, canola oil, mushrooms and forage and grass seeds STRONG IMAGE’ “Canada has a very strong, very positive image and that is helping us immensely," the trade official said.There will be at least 100 spe cial promotions of Canadian food this year at grocery stores, ho tels, restaurants and trade shows across Japan.Almost all the promotions will be funded by Japa- nese distributors — not.as pre viously, by Canadian governments and producers.“They are coming to us with their own ideas, said the Canadian official, who asked not to be identified.In Yasui, a small city on the rugged Japan Sea coast, a local entrepreneur has imported cedar buildings from British Columbia to create a "Canadian Village" shopping centre.In the ski resort region near Nikko, perhaps Japan's most fa mous tourist town, another promoter is using Canada's image of wholesomeness to develop a ski resort that will be a miniature of Whistler, B.C.— complete with Canadian made lodges and streets named after Canadian towns and cities.SELLING POINT’ "And these people are doing this on their own.as commercial ventures, because -they believe Canada’s image is a selling point,” the embassy official said.For Canadian exporters, he said, the challenge is to maintain quality and reliability of supply.The liberalization of Japanese import regulations holds a challenge for Canada's fish and farm exports.The $3 billion a year Japanese beef market is being prized open and Canadian cattlemen and meat packers can expect a signi ficant share if they meet Japanese standards for quality and ti mely delivery Reduced Japanese catch quo tas off the United States and the Soviet Union expand the potential market for Canadian fish “In combination, continuing nota.raiexpenuuures dim id* mvi cases XT’* * " 4-* Wilson had some good news for constructors ''ia Prices m Ques ion * zvctawa iPPi A rvlo'j from v«»ars even makes the aeencv'f OTTAWA (CP) — The increase in federal sales tax on construction materials will add about $500 to the cost of most new houses, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association says.Last week’s federal budget raised the sales tax on construction materials to nine per cent from eight per cent effective next Jan.1.The average home is currently priced at about $150,000.The decision to finance the unemployment insurance program entirely through employer and employee contributions, also effective in January, will add another $150 to the average price.“That extra $650 is a significant increase in most housing markets across the country,” Tom Co- chren, association president, said in a recent interview.“People may think it’s no big sweat in the southern Ontario market, but that market has already come to a halt because of high interest rates.” An increase to five per cent from three per cent in surtaxes on most incomes, along with a jump from five to eight per cent for those with incomes over $70,000 will also have an impact on the housing market by reducing the amount of money people have available to spend on new homes, Cochren added.PLEASED WITH TAX The association was pleased with Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s pledge that housing will be no more costly after a new nine-per-cent goods and services tax takes effect Jan.1,1991, than it is at present.His decision not to apply the new federal tax to mortgages, was also good news for homebuyers, Cochren said.The new tax will replace a 12-per-cent levy known as the manufacturers’ sales tax.However, a one-percentage-point reduction in federal transfer payments to the provinces will put pressure on provincial governments and municipalities to find replacement sources of revenue, Cochren added.The association, Cochren said, is concerned this may mean an increase in lot levies and land transfer taxes paid by home builders and ultimately produce higher home prices.“And all homeowners will ultimately have to pay for this reduction in transfer payments in the form of higher property taxes,” he said.“You will see property taxes skyrocket.A projected deficit for this year of $30.5 billion may not be low enough to allow the Bank of Canada to lower interest rates, the association believes.“Larger expenditure cuts than those outlined in the budget would have created a stronger environment for lower and stable interest rates,” Cochren said.The association represents more than 12,000 home builders across Canada.OTTAWA (CP) — A plea from Erik Nielsen for witnesses to stay on track at a National Transporta tion Agency hearing into how Via Rail sets its ticket prices went un heeded Monday.Nielsen, the former Tory cabinet minister who’s now chairman of the transportation watchdog agency, asked witnesses to stick to ticket prices “and not talk about the future of Via or the operations of Via.” But minutes later, Tom McGrath, of the Canadian Brother hood of Railway, Transport and General Workers, said the future of Via is what’s on most minds McGrath said the government’s decision to slash Via’s funding by $500 million during the next five years even makes the agency's hearings questionable.Jean Pelletier, the mayor of Quebec City, told Nielsen the survival of Via is important to transporta tion in the province.Pelletier said passenger train service is too limited and inflexible to be regarded as a competitor to the bus.Instead of complaining about federal subsidies, bus companies should concentrate on competing with the private automobile, he said.He warned Nielsen not to reeom mend any sweeping increases in Via fares because that would make regional lines more uneconomic “and by consequence, compromise the economic development of regions in Quebec.” Alberta miners panic over future Dene-Metis moves CALGARY (CP) — Mining companies are upset with a government decision to withdraw 62,000 square kilometres from claim staking while land negotiations continue with the Dene-Metis in the Northwest Territories.The federal government has agreed to cede vast stretches of Crown land to Dene-Metis ownership but the final details still have to be worked out.Mining firms fear the Dene-Metis will impose new royalties and other obligations.“We cannot invest under these conditions,” said Larry Lahusen, exploration vice-president for Golden Rule Resources Ltd.of Calgary.“Panic is growing in the industry.I think the uproar will become horrendous.” Mining is the largest industry in the territories, annually injecting $200 million and about 2,500 jobs into the economy.Under an agreement in principle signed last fall the Dene-Metis will select and own 181,000 square kilometres of land.They will hold mineral rights on 10,000 square kilometres and surface rights on the rest.The Dene and Metis are due to get their land by 1991, when a final deal is supposed to be signed.They had complained mineral explorers were staking claims on their future lands.NEW PARTNERSHIP Last month the territorial government stopped accepting new mineral claims on 62,000 square kilometres in an area north of Great Slave until 1991.However, Murray Pyke, minerals vice-president of Calgary-based Comaplex Resources International Ltd., said a new partnership between industry and the Dene-Metis may emerge from the fracas.The Dene-Metis are due to get $500 million from Ottawa in the set tlement—cash that could be invested in mining companies.“The silver lining in this black cloud may be a far more effective partnership between companies and northern natives,” Pyke said.But he said the claims freeze is causing concern.“A lot of mining companies are likely to pull out if we don’t see some quick clarification, and some may never come back.” Industry to co-operate in aluminum research By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) —The Quebec government has taken on a daunting task — to convince several multinational aluminum producers in Quebec to co-operate so the province can wring more economic benefit from their operations.Pierre MacDonald, minister of industry, trade and technology, told a news conference Monday he has succeeded in bringing together representatives of different companies to talk about setting up a joint research and development institute.MacDonald acknowledged that the representatives of the competing companies had reservations."They tola me there are domains where we can co-operate and others where we can’t,”’ MacDonald said.François Senecal-Tremblay, president of Alcan Smelters and Chemicals Inc., told the news conference that an obvious common area would be research on how to curb the air and water pollution of the smelters EVERYBODY WINS' “We’re all in competition, extremely prudent in exchanging infor-mation,” admitted Senecal-Tremblay.“But there are certain elements where all the industry could probably gain from working together, for example in the environment.Everybody will win if we find solutions faster.” Quebec produces 10 per cent of the world’s primary aluminum and by 1992 this is expected to rise to 14 per cent — the second-highest concentration of aluminum smelting in the world, after the United States.Multinationals such as Alcan Aluminium Ltd.of Montreal, ABI Inc., Reynolds Aluminum Co.of Canada Ltd., and Alumax Inc.are attracted to Quebec by its cheap hydroelectric power.They import raw bauxite by ship and then export 95 per cent of the aluminum in primary form such as ingots, MacDonald noted.MacDonald said Quebec has a unique opportunity to try to expand the economic benefits by making more aluminum products here, such as a wheel factory recently announced by Reynolds.MacDonald also announced his department is setting up an office to help Quebec suppliers benefit from several multi-million-dollar smelters being built.The aluminum companies tend to buy much of their sophisticated equipment outside the province, often because they’re unaware of what’s available in Quebec.MacDonald said.Three new smelters now under construction and three scheduled to start construction by 1992 are worth $5 billion and will create thousands of jobs, he said.,ea’ \ ta C0^L loorib conse U«er,0leR district C\&SS 1 Business

The RKCORD—Tuesday, May 2.1989-7 Interesting and very informative workshop hosted by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation By Eileen Perkins A very interesting and informative day was spent on the 24th storey of the CBC building Radio Canada in Montreal, when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation hosted some of the different groups of English speaking people living outside the city at a workshop, and luncheon.This event has taken place for some years now and the aim is to meet together quite informally and to explore ideas on how to improve and enlarge the existing CBC coverage in both television and radio.Guests included people active in the Quebec Farmers’ Association .Quebec Young Farmers, the Townshippers Association, the Quebec Women's Institute, representatives from the Outaouais area and others.The group found the remarks from the different T.V.and Radio executives very informative.Possibly the main theme which seemed to come across on the CBC’s pre^ sentations was that the hosts felt that the best way for them to become aware of people's interests and needs for their particular area was for people to either write to the CBC or call collect.“Please let us know what is going on in your area that possibly would be of interest to our viewers and listeners ", stated Nicole Belanger executive producer of CBC.For the Montreal station call.for instance "Radio Noon" is a very important farm news broadcast and can be reached at 514-597-4468, and the address for Radio Canada is CBC Box 6000,Station A, Montreal-code H3C 3A8 and the producer of the program is Nancy Platt, The Quebec Community Network in Quebec City can be reached by calling (both numbers call collect if you wish), at 418-525-2124 (please do not call during the programs Quebec A.M.or Breakaway, or Radio Noon unless there is something urgent going on in your area).The station is located at CBC, 700 St.CyriUe Blvd.Quebec- ,Que GIR 5A9.Two specific problems were discussed, one being the frustration of people living in the Outaouais area of Quebec.Shaw ville in Pontiac County for instance, have no reception of either television or radio from the Montreal CBC They have to rely on Ontario Stations, hence get very little news from Quebec province.Another solution to a problem in coverage is one that has been promoted by the local QFA for years, that being an installation of a transmitter on Mount Orf ord to improve reception in the surrounding areas.Both of these subjects have no immediate solution as we were informed there is no money allocated for new installations in the forseeable future, as the budget has allocations for maintenance of existing facilities only Not to end on a negative note the group was very interested to chat with people like Marc Coté.Host of “Radio Noon”, Cathy Simon.Producer of “Quebec A.M.” Phyllis Platt, Executive Producer of Newswatch", Patricia Plesz-czynsk ta Townshipper) who is executive producer of "Good Morning Quebec".Patricia has a new show beginning at 5 a m which is available on 91.7 FM (Quebec City) as well as CBM.It is called “Quebec Eye Opener" and is just that.The producer of "Day- break", Sophia Hadzipetros also gave the group an interesting insight into the workings of Television, Norma Bolen outlined the agenda for the upcoming years, and it spells Canadian content with Canadians featured in a big percentage of the shows.As this was a rural group both programs "On The Road Again ", and "Country Report” were discussed Last, but not least, Robert Blackwood, Director of Radio, had good things to say about the Quebec Community Network broadcasted out of Quebec City — his superiors felt that this was a definite plus to reach across Quebec and the invited guests concurred enthusiastically.Left to right, Douglas MacKinnon, President and a Director of \yer s Cliff branch QF.\, Warren Grapes, President of Quebec Farmer's Association and a Director of Hulwer branch, Agnes Keenan, member of

that silver sheen Was dream stuff thrown about by distant stars To add a little glamour and charm to living Make lovers more receptive, much more giving.Stardust, the very word contrived to spur Young lovers on and those who wished they were.And then we found the moon was layers deep The stuff was awesome, moon-walkers lost their feet; And house wives shuddered at the thought of dusting No longer urged by dreaming or of lusting; Scientists analyzed, indeed they just Had to determine the potency of dust Brought from the moon, instead of caught by Stars.While lovers questioned magic stored in jars.MARJORIE P.FERRIS Rougemont.P.Q.A SENIOR CITIZEN’S LAMENT Thought that I would let my doctor check me Cause I didn't feel quite right All those aches and pains annoyed me And I couldn’t sleep at night.He could find no real disorder But he wouldn’t let it rest What with Medicare and Blue Cross It wouldn’t hurt to do some tests.To the hospital he sent me Though, I did not feel that bad He arranged to give me Every test that could be had.I was fluoroscoped and cyrtoscoped My aging frame displayed Stripped on an ice-cold table While my gizzards were X-rayed.I was checked for worms and parasites For fungus and the erud While they pierced me with long needles Taking samples of my blood.Doctors came to check me over Probed and pushed and poked around To make sure that I was living They wired me for sound.They have finally concluded Their results have filled a page What I have will someday kill me My affliction is old age.Author unknown.Submitted by HELEN BROWN BURTON Ayer's

Ball gets rolling for local tennis troopers By Scott David Harrison LENNOXVILLE — Five years ago a few enthusiasts got together to say: ‘Tennis anyone?’ That was the day the Association Régionale de Tennis de TEstrie was bom.Rick Pellerin, one of the club’s founding members, has seen his brainchild grow over the years.Stronger and wiser, the association has five tournaments slated for this summer for those tennis bugs.The tournaments start in June and run until the end of August.Pellerin said the association had to be cunning in the past to attract players to the tournament, and this year was no exception.Hence, the association entered a new phase — letter writing and envolope stuffing.“We’ve recognized there are 250 active tennis players in the area,” he said Monday.“So what we’ve done is sent them each a letter regarding the five tournaments.” Junk mail it’s not to Pellerin, he’s just trying to “help the game we all love.” “By indentifying (players) and sending the letters, we’re hoping to get positive responses,” he said.“We hope to have at least 32 players for each tournament.” “Our basic goal is to promote tennis," said Pellerin, who acts as one of the two presidents to the association.“If we can do that and get some help along the way.then we get more people interested in the game and more people playing.” Pelerin has watched the association grow from three members in 1984 to 12 today.“Our goal is to get people out to play tennis and to develop some good junior players who can participate at the provincial and national levels.” Three of the five tournaments will be played back-to-back at Bishop’s University.The first starts on June 23 and will run until the 25th.The second toumment will be for the Quebec Games and will be played on July 6, 7 and 8.Two weeks later the final tournament at Bishop’s will kick off.The dates are July 20, 21 and 22.Bromptonville will host the fourth tournament of the summer schedule, on August 4, 5 and 6.The final event of the summer will be played on August 25,26 and 27 at Belvédère Park in Ascot Township.For more information on the tournaments contact Rick Pellerin at 822-9672.SHERBROOKE — The U.S.Immigration &

the Montreal Canadiens in a rough opening game of the NHL Wales Conference playoff final on Monday night.Smith scored at 13:45 of the first period with teammate Scott Mel-lanby off for holding and Sinisalo got one at 11:19 of the third frame with Ron Sutter in the box for hooking to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead After Shayne Corson broke Wregget's shutout bid at 12:06, Rick Tocchet stuffed one in from the side of the net with 6:51 remaining for the Flyers' third goal.Montreal goaltender Patrick Roy, who has never beaten the Flyers in nine games in his career, had his season-long, club-record unbeaten streak stopped at 34 games, including seven playoff victories, by a superb performance from Wregget and gritty play by the Philadelphia defence Wregget, who excelled in the Flyers’ 4-1

coach for the 1989 season.Paopao, 33, will be responsible for the offensive backfield on the coaching staff headed by Larry Donovan, it was announced Monday.“I’m especially happy to have a man of Joe's experience and background,” Donovan said in a prepared statement.“He has always approached his quarterbacking duties with a coaching philosophy.” Paopao’s 10-year CFL career ended last year when he was released by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers after training camp NEW YORK (AP) — Tim Raines of the Montreal Expos has been named National League player of the week for the period ending April 30.Raines drove in 10 runs and scored six during the week.He hit .438, going 7-for-16, in Montreal's five games, including a double and two triples, and stole three bases.He drove in the 10 runs from the leadoff spot in the lineup.Rookie Ken Griffey of the Seattle Mariners was named American League player of the week after hitting .600 for the same period.TILDEN CAR RENTAL * MOVING TRUCKS WEEKEND

beat Wregget, who entered the game with a career 2.80 goals-against average despite spending his first three NHL seasons with the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs.Among his heroics, Wregget stopped Mats Naslund from alone in the slot early in the second pe riod and later made two saves from point-blank range on Chclios.The victory was costly, how ever, as Philadelphia's Brian Propp was taken from the ice on a stretcher at 7:07 of the second period with a concussion after a brutal elbow into the boards from Chelios — one of several wicked shots administered by both teams during the game Propp was taken to hospital for x-rays.The Flyers look the offensive one minute into the game when Ron Sutter cross-checked Guy Carbon neau, Montreal’s best checking forward, to the ice and (he Canadien needed

to get silver By Geoff Fraser STOCKHOLM (CP) — Team Ca nada had a choice in its final game at the world hockey championship: get even or get the silver.The Canadians, ignoring the temptation to lose their cool against opponents who could give Greg Louganis a lesson in diving, chose the latter and defeated Czechoslovakia 4-3 on Monday.“These guys are the worse I’ve ever played against,” said defenceman Scott Stevens, who scored the winning goal late in the second period to give Canada the silver, its best showing since 1985.Canada has not won the world title since 1961, when the Smoke Eaters of Trail, B.C., took the gold, Despite the silver win, the Canadians were angered at the Czechs for exaggerating falls and injuries and at the officials for responding to the “acting.” “The Academy Awards should have been given out,” said Cana dian coach Dave King.Instead, international hockey’s highest award went once again to the Soviet Union, which won its fifth world title of the decade.The Soviets clinched the gold medal with a 5-3 victory Saturday over Canada and then won their fi nal game Monday — a 5-1 thrashing of Sweden, the host country that was the defending champion but finished this tournament out of the medals.Because the Soviets had already locked the gold, the Canada-Czechoslovakia match provided the tournament’s final drama The winner would take the silver, the loser the bronze.DISCIPLINED WIN Canada won with discipline, something Canad:an teams have often lacked at recent world championships.“They wanted us to become undisciplined, to retaliate,” said Mark Messier, who gave Canada a 2-0 first-period lead and set up Stevens’s winner “All the credit goes to the guys for keeping their cool ’’ ¦¦’I f Red Wings’ Steve Yzerman led Team Canada.Leading 3-2 midway in the second period, Gerard Gallant tapped goalie Dominik Hasek on the pads as he skated past.Hasek, named the tournament’s top goaltender, fell with a shout and squirmed on the ice as if in terrible pain.A linesman called Gallant for tripping Then, early in the third period, with Messier already off for a questionable slashing call, Dave Ellett skated past Tomas Jelinek at centre ice.Jelinek fell to his knees, clutching his stomach Again, it was a linesman who made the call — another slashing penalty.“It happened right in front of the bench, nobody touched him,” said King."It amazes me they could be that dishonest, but that’s the way it goes." Dave Babych gave Canada a 1-0 lead on a power play 13:25 into the game on a play Gallant set up when he stole the puck from Hasek Messier stretched the lead to two goals 3:12 later when Yzerman hit him with a breaewiy pass just after Messier finished serving a penalty.Each team scored two power-play goals, with Stevens scoring the winner on one at 17.22 of the second period when he redirected a pass into the low slot by Messier.Cincinnati bangs the Expos into submission By Terry Scott MONTREAL (CP) — Jeff Reed had a career-high five hits and Paul O’Neill and Chris Sabo knocked in five and four runs respectively as Cincinnati banged out 21 hits and the Montreal Expos yielded more runs than any game in their 21-year history in losing 19-6 to the Reds on Monday night.The Reds had gone ahead 7-6 with a four-run seventh off starter and loser Pascual Perez, 0-3, but the worst was to come for Montreal and relievers Andy McGaffigan and Joe Hesketh.McGaffigan, who had finished the seventh for Perez, faced three batters in the eighth, retiring one.Six of the next eight batters to face Hesketh reached base, with Sabo doubling home two runs, Barry Larkin and Reed each adding one with singles, Eric Davis delivering a sacrifice fly and another scoring on a sacrifice fly by Eric Davis.The Reds had another six-run in ning in the ninth, including a three-un double by O’Neill off Hesketh, who was eventually replaced by second baseman Tom Foley.Reed greeted Foley by slamming a two-run homer.The 21 hits and 19 runs were both season-highs for the Reds, who must have pleased manager Pete Rose, listening from his hotel room, where he was sent prior to the game because of chest congestion and a high fever.The Reds, who earlier had ral lied from a 3-0 deficit, trailed 6-3 when Reed and Ron Oester opened the seventh with a single and double respectively off Perez.Ken Griffey, pinch hitting for starting pitcher Rick Mahler, 3-3, made it 6-4, bringing in a run on a forceout A walk by Kal Daniels and Sabo’s RBI single chased Perez and reliever Andy McGaffigan yielded an infield single to Larkin, loading the bases.Davis’s fly near the warning track in centre brought home the tying run and Todd Benzinger’s poke through the right side made it 7-6.An inning earlier, Benzinger had made the final out by trying to steal third base when it was already occupied.Expos notes: Right hander Bryn Smith returned to his California home Monday to be with his wife Patti.She is having complications as she awaits the birth of the couple’s second child.Third baseman Tim Wallach was named the Expos' player of the month for April.He had a .321 average, with two home runs and nine RBIs for the month.¦ Of consuming interest Year after year,' govemmenf after government,' Canada has built up a' debt that now totals over 320 billion dollars.So that today, one third of every tax dollar is wasted just paying the interest on this massive debt.Let’s stop shortchanging ourselves.We’ve got to deal with the debt now.That way we can guarantee our.social programs in theJ future.And that’s, in everybody’s, best interest ï».r 'C&Tl tJd&iËâ "in mitei For more information call 1-800-267-6620 1-800-267-6650 (T.D.O.)
