A bill from Cogger filed in evidence showed that he charged Montpetit for discussions he had with various senior federal officials including Bernard Roy, then Mulroney's principal secretary.Headmasters and head-tackles The Headmaster’s-Principal’s Cup featured a little bit of everything: a little scoring, a little hitting and a little bit of this stuff: penalties.Bishop’s College School running back Ewen Lilford is given an un- RKCORD/PF RRY BEATON comfortable ride to the ground with a flying head tackle.For more on the annual game, turn to page 13.Quebec doctors: Emergency rooms the worst in N.A.'Here’s how it goes.I start singir.g ‘Row, row, row your boat’, and as soon as I say boat' you start." Nurses’ union and leaders to pay fines MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec’s main nurses union and two of its leaders were found guilty of contempt of court Wednesday after they admitted that they defied a Quebec Essential Services Council order last month and staged an illegal strike.Mr.Justice Pierre Viau of Quebec Superior Court ordered Diane Lavallée, Quebec Federation of Nurses president, and vice-president Raymonde Bossé to pay $1,000 each and fined the union $3,000.Charges against union spokesman Lucille Auger were dropped because she is not a member of the union’s executive.The union and its three officials had each faced a maximum penalty of $5,000 a day for each of the seven days the union was on an illegal strike — a total of $140,000.The fines were accepted grudgingly by the union leaders.“We’re never satisfied to pay a fine, especially because we considered at the time that our actions were legitimate,” said Lavallee.“On the other hand, we are happy that the judge accepted the recommendation of our lawyer which was a total fine of $5,000 for the federation.” Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom, defense lawyer Georges Marceau said the judge appeared to take his arguments into consideration in meting out the fine.Marceau had argued that the nurses should face only a light fine because they went on strike as a last resort after negotiations had all but broken down.Marceau also pointed out that the right of the Essential Services Council to rule on required services during public sector disputes is currently before the Quebec Court of Appeal.The nurses reached an accord with the government last month.Negotiations with hospital support staff are still underway.OTTAWA (CP) — Environmental groups say they may boycott public hearings that will look into the possible storage of nuclear waste deep in the Canadian Shield.Environment Minister Lucien Bouchard announced Wednesday the creation of a seven-member panel that will study the social, economic and environmental impact of an underground waste facility as well as other suggestions for the storage of radioactive fuel bundles used to produce nuclear power.But David Posh, a lawyer for Energy Probe, said his organization and other environmental groups may boycott the hearings STUART, Iowa (AP) — A dog can get around on three legs, but Rusty is a 40-pound dog with two legs who has learned to do practically everything normal dogs do.“He might be a step or two slower than he was with four legs but not much more than that,” said owner Bill Davis.Rusty, a three-year-old red heeler, learned to run on his two right legs after a hay mower accident July 1 nearly killed him and left his left legs dangling as useless stubs.The stubs swing back and forth when he moves, but they don’t touch the ground.QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec is lagging far behind Ontario and other provinces in providing adequate emergency-health care, a group of Quebec doctors said Wednesday.“We are, in pre-hospital and in hospital-emergency care, years unless Bouchard allows discussion on the role of nuclear power in Canadian energy policy.Bouchard said in a news release that he plans to consider “a more appropriate forum” for discussions on nuclear power.Posh said the government “is trying to railroad this through so they can pretend there’s a solution to the (nuclear) waste problem.” He said Energy Probe and at least 11 other environmental groups including Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth told Bouchard they would consider boycotting the hearings unless he “He’s quick enough that I’m back to using him with the cattle,” Davis said.“He can run around them and get them moving just like he used to.” Davis is amazed, as are visitors to his farm.“Come to think of it, the only thing he can’t do that he could before is jump a fence,” he said.“When it happened, I'd been out mowing the end rows of my oat field and I was coming back in,” Davis said.“I came around the corner of the hog house and there and years behind the rest of Canada and the rest of North America,” said Dr.Michel Tetreault, a physician at St.Mary's Hospital in Montreal.“We are underdeveloped for sure,” he told reporters before the allowed discussion on the future of nuclear energy.The panel will hold hearings in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick and may also travel to other provinces, the release said.The idea of storing nuclear fuel waste in rock formations deep underground was proposed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.Used fuel bundles are currently being stored at reactor sites.Raymond Robinson, executive chairman of the Federal Environmental Assessment Review Office, will be chairman of the panel.A schedule for public hearings will be announced later, the release said.was Rusty.It happened so quick I couldn't get stopped in time.The mower went right over it.“He was just motionless there underneath it, bleeding but still alive.I’ll tell you, it was like running over your own kid.Well, almost.It about made me sick.” Davis, 35, raced to the office of veterinarian Dr.Eric Christianson.who agrees the recovery was remarkable “But the biggest factor is that this dog has a real will to live, a heck of a lot of character,” Christianson said.“Most animals would have given up." annual meeting of the association representing Quebec’s emergency physicians.Association president Rémi Coté urged Quebec to create special trauma units in hospitals — a move he estimated could save between at least 200 and 400 lives a year.Another major beef for the 300-member group is the overcrowding in hospital emergency wards.Although the province has spent $171 million since 1985 to improve the crush, the situation has not improved, Tetreault said.“Our emergency departments are as congested as they were, but things would have been worse if this money and effort hadn’t been put in,” he added.But Yves-Thomas Dorval, a spokesman for Health Minister The-rese Lavoie-Roux, said the government has cut the emergency-room occupancy rate to 102 per cent from 126 per cent in the last three years.Tetreault, meanwhile, said that Quebec is even worse off than poorer provinces such as Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.Newfoundland, for example, recently purchased more than 100 automatic defibrillators, which, when hooked up to computerized equipment in ambulances, can give automatic electric shocks to patients to revive their hearts.The association wants Quebec to purchase 500 such defibrillators — at a total cost of about $3.5 million — and estimates they could save between 220 and 440 extra lives each year by reaching people in the minutes immediately following their heart attack.Coté also called for the creation of computerized registrars in hospitals to show clearly how many beds are available for emergency cases at any given time.Tories contemplate nuclear waste dump Farm dog stands on his own two feet Bouchard cuts half of Via Rail’s trains By Alex Binkley OTTAWA (CP) — Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard ended months of speculation Wednesday by announcing that half of Via Rail’s trains will be cancelled on Jan.15.And while he tried to bill the move as the salvation of passenger rail travel in Canada, opposition critics said it meant the death of Via and promised to mount a campaign against it in Parliament and across the country.And in a last-minute attempt to appease public opposition to the cuts, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney announced a royal commission into passenger travel in Canada.The cuts will leave Via operating three thrice-weekly trains linking Central Canada with the East and West Coasts, a major chunk of its existing Quebec-Ontario corridor trains, a couple of regional routes and eight remote services.The cuts were milder than leaked documents had indicated and Via President Ron Lawless told reporters that the number of lines to be retained was adjusted until the last minute.Sources have indicated that the government backtracked on some cuts in the last few days in the face of stiff public opposition.It also decided that Via’s subsidy would only have to be cut to $350 million by 1993, not $250 million as announced in April.The trains apparently spared at the last minute include the Atlantic linking Halifax and Montreal via Saint John, N.B., which now will operate three times a week instead of daily.The Ocean will drop to three times a week from daily service between Halifax and Montreal via Mont Joli, Que.The Canadian, which ran between Toronto and Vancouver via Calgary, has been cancelled, while the transcontinental between Vancouver and Toronto via Edmonton will operate thrice weekly.The southern Ontario communi ties of Brantford, Burlington, Sarnia and Niagara Falls will keep their trains, but at a reduced frequency.Among the regional trains that have been kept are Jasper, Alta., to Prince Rupert, B.C., three times a week There will be a Calgary-Vancouver train in the summer as a tourist venture.Lawless said that 2,761 employees will lose their jobs, mainly in the new year.Unionized workers will be cut by 2,102 from the present total of 5,735.Non-union workers will be cut by 659 to 1,565.Employment at the Montreal headquarters will be cut by half to 691 employees from 1,275.GENEROUS ALLOWANCE He said employees to be laid off will receive generous separation allowances and benefits which will cost Via a total $140 million.Both Liberal Leader John Turner and New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent denounced the cuts at news conferences.The issue dominated the daily Commons question period and Turner tried unsuccessfully to get Speaker John Fraser to suspend regular business for an emergency debate on the cuts.Turner said the cuts “means the Via network is being gutted.The cuts are a demarketing device to eliminate passenger rail service completely.” Broadbent said the royal commission is a phoney and “they’re using it to camouflage this unpopular decision.” The trains that will stop operating on Jan.15 are Halifax-Yarmouth along with the Halifax-Sydney run in Nova Scotia; Monc-ton-Edmundston and Moncton-Campbellton in New Brunswick; Moncton to Charlottetown (a bus service); Toronto-Havelock, Toronto Kingston and Toronto North Bay in Ontario; Montreal-Trois-Rivieres-Quebec, Montreal-Sherbrooke, Quebec-Mont Joli in Quebec; Cochrane-Kapuskaslngin northern Ontario; Victoria-Courtenay in British Columbia and The Canadian via Calgary and Winnipeg-Capreol, Ont.Bouchard said the cabinet had passed special orders to terminate those trains without going to the National Transportation Agency.That tact eliminates any chance of public hearings by the Agency.Via facts: OTTAWA (CP) - Highlights of the federal government plan to cut Via Rail services effective Jan.15, which were announced Wednesday by Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard : — Via will eliminate 18 of 38 routes and the number of trains running will drop to 191 weekly, down from the current 405 trains.—- The streamlined Via network will be about 10 million kilometres, half its current length in kilometres.— 2,761 union and non-unionized workers will lose their jobs, 38 per cent of Via’s current workforce of 7,300.— Separation allowances and benefits for laid-off workers will total an estimated $140 million.— The eastern transcontinental service between Halifax and Montreal will operate six times a week in both directions, three days via Monti Joli, Que., and three days via Saint John, N.B.— - Service between Toronto and Vancouver will be three times a week via Edmonton.The transcontinental train through Calgary is being dropped but there will be a summertime Cal-gary-Vancouver train.— Eight services to isolated communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario will be maintained.— There will be twice daily service between Toronto and Niagara Falls, Ont., and between Toronto and Sarnia, Ont.Royal commission will probe passenger travel OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government will create a royal commission to study what kind of passenger transportation system the country needs for the next century, Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard said Wednesday.The announcement came as the minister announced that half of Via’s trains would be cut on Jan.15.He said the commission will examine the role of integrated intercity passenger transportation and how that would fit into the entire transportation network.The government will look for the best ways to move Canadians between the country ’s major cities and what such a system could cost.The membership of the commission will be announced later by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.Bouchard said there has not been a profound study on how air, road, rail and marine passenger transportation should be linked.“People wants us to spend billions of dollars on a high speed rail system and billions more on improving our highways.” “But no one has looked at how to integrate the various transportation systems that we do have.” i ’- The KECORD—Thursday, October 5, 1989 The Townships Jacques Blais back: as president UPA-Sherbrooke: The same old debates haunt farmers John Boerson, Fraser Adams and Douglas MacKinnon: Milk wars and free trade trouble farmers.By John Tollefsrud ASCOT CORNER—Sherbrooke-area farmers met Wednesday and re-elected Jacques Blais as president of the regional Union des Producteurs Agricoles (UFA).At a comparatively quiet and low-attendance meeting, Blais defeated challenger Jean-Luc St.Laurent, a dairy farmer from Sa-wyerville.The vote was 92 to 27 with one spoiled ballot.Blais remains in the top position he has held since January 1982.The La Patrie farmer said his priorities will continue to be fighting against free trade and the Jacques Blais.Back for another term.most recent federal budget, and working for milk-price integration, egg-producer protection and a uniform price for maple syrup sold in bulk.Blais said he will continue to make area farmers’ voices heard by the provincial and federal governments.The first step in that begins when the Sherbrooke area UFA, representing Estrie, or Region 5, sends its resolution-armed delegation to the UFA provincial meeting.TWO ANGLO DELEGATES On Wednesday, Barnston West dairy farmer Douglas MacKinnon was elected to the 19-member delegation, joining fellow English-speaking representative John Boersen, a Melbourne dairy farmer who is president of the union’s English ‘sector’.MacKinnon said Canada’s new trade treaty with the United States is at the top of every Eastern Townships farmer’s worry list.“The big thing underlying everything right now is free trade,” he said.MacKinnon also said the possible opening of the dairy trade between Canada and other countries could be a recipe for disaster.Last month a report by a special committee of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was leaked.The report rejected Canada's claim that it be allowed to limit imports of yogurt, ice cream and ice cream-based products.The explosive contents of the document sent tremors through Canada’s dairy community, whose production totals $7 billion a year.‘DOMINO EFFECT’ “Right now we’re all very apprehensive about how this GATT 11 proposition is going to affect us,” MacKinnon said.“We’re afraid this will have a domino effect.The Americans will have access to our markets and we won’t have access to theirs.” Another issue raised was the seemingly eternal debate over pricing of fluid and industrial milk.Fluid milk is produced for drinking while industrial milk is destined for processing into buttermilk, butter, cheese and other dairy products.The debate centres on whether the two milk classifications should be priced equally.Currently dairy farmers receive about 52g per litre of fluid milk but only 420 for industrial milk.MILK DEBATE Two dairy farmers who find themselves on opposite sides of the complex issue are Melbourne’s Boersen and Fraser Adams of Georgeville.Boersen, who emphasized he was speaking as an individual not president of the English sector, favors a gradual integration of the two milk prices.Adams argues milk is milk.“I’m an industrial milk producer and I’m in favor of one price for the same quality of milk,” Adams said.He added that he owns quota — the right to sell — one litre of fluid milk per day, which allows his industrial milk to be picked up by the same truck as fluid-milk producers.Citing Quebec’s strict hygiene and content standards, Adams said the provincial dairy industry has “evolved tremendously in the last 20 years.” “In the immediate future there will be no low-quality milk in Quebec,” he said.Boersen said the goal of gradual milk integration has been sought for some 15 years.He said the Quebec Dairy Federation takes some exception at being legally challenged by the UFA for not having accepted a two-year-old resolution for overnight milk-price integration.LEGAL APPEAL Blais and six other Townships producers are challenging the dairy federation for the second time.A first court ruling against them is under appeal.“By the time everybody has a share of the fluid milk quotas, everyone will have a share of the high prices of the milk,” Boersen said.“I think dairy producers should be regarded as capable of taking care of their own affairs.” Boersen explained that the gradual integration program would allow 17 per cent of a producer’s industrial milk, or 125 litres per day — whichever comes first — to be reclassified as fluid milk.But the changes hinge on growth in Quebec milk consumption.And several different authorities come into play.While industrial milk quotas are governed by the Canadian Dairy Commission, fluid milk quotas are handled by Quebec’s produce marketing board La Régie des marchés de produits agricoles.But like MacKinnon, Boersen says the milk debate takes a back seat to the more serious implications of liberalized trade.“I would say that right now, at this hour, the entire issue (milk-price integration) is overshadowed by the bilateral trade agreement and the GATT regulation 11,” Boerson said.The UPA meeting continues today, when members vote on a series of resolutions on issues ranging from maple syrup to controlling coyotes and other animal nuisances.The meeting starts at 8 p.m.at the Salle O Grand ‘R’ in Ascot Corner.Behind the news Sbcoril ‘To combat the scourge of terrorism’ Aviation’s top body By Don Macdonald MONTREAL (CP) — The United Nations’ civil aviation body * ’ brought the international commu- nity a step closer Wednesday to an t agreement on marking plastic ex-» plosives for detection by adopting * a resolution embracing the idea.Representatives of more than 130 countries passed a motion that gave the go ahead for the creation of an international convention that * would force manufacturers to mark the explosives for detection by airport security.Plastic explosives have been linked to a number of terrorist bombings including one last December in which 270 people were killed when a Pan AM Boeing 747 jet was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland.“We believe that in due course this convention will prove to be a further milestone in this organiza-tion’s determined efforts to combat the scourge of terrorism,’’ Fred Neal, the British delegate to the International Civil Aviation Or- calls for plastic explosives to be marked ganization, told the body’s triennial assembly.Britian, along with Czechoslovakia, have been leading the charge to get the convention passed after the Lockerbie tragedy.The idea is for manufacturers to introduce an agent such as small chips into plastic explosives so that they will show up when passed under detection machines in airports.Plastic explosives are now virtually undetectable.The assembly sent the proposal to ICAO’s legal committe where a convention will be drafted.Neal said the convention will hopefully be ready for ratification by countries by the end of 1990.BATTLES DRUGS The assembly also adopted resolutions Wednesday aimed at stepping up the organization’s battle against the transport of drugs on civil aircraft and use of drugs by crew and other people involved in aviation.That resolution was accompanied by another that calls on countries not to detain or seize aircraft found to be carrying illegal drugs “where there is no evidence or presumption of negligence or guilt on the part of the air carriers concerned.” U.S.delegate Edmund Stohr said his country, which has come under fire for seizing airliners found to be carrying drugs as part of its “war” on narcotics, has no problem with the resolution.“The United States does not seize aircraft unless it has an excellent reason, unless it believes there is involvement by the airline company or its employees,” said Stohr in an interview.The assembly’s plenary sessions are being held in an large red-carpeted room in ICAO’s headquarters that is overlooked by booths from where translators work in five languages.ICAO, which has 161 member states, sets standards and practices necessary for the safe and efficient operation of civil aviation around the world.It has no formal powers to force members to adopt its measures.‘I thought at first it must be an earthquake’ U.S.refuelling jet crashes near N.B.border; one man missing PERTH-ANDOVER, N.B.(CP) — Hundreds of soldiers fanned out into the woods and fields near the border with Maine on Wednesday after a huge American jet used for mid-air refuelling exploded in the sky.The badly burned bodies of three of the four American crewmen aboard were recovered and the search was continuing for the missing man.The four on board were identi- fied as pilot Lt.-Col.William H.Northcutt of Oklahoma City ;

parachutes anyway because they know they normally don’t have an opportunity to get out of the aircraft.” Moreilham said the crew, based at the nearby Loring Air Force Base in Maine, had contacted the control tower at Loring before the explosion shortly after 7 a.m.But she said, to her knowledge, there was no distress call.The U.S.air force said the men and their families lived at the airbase, which is about 30 kilometres west of Perth-Andover.There were no civilian injuries.LIT UP SKY The KC-135 jet is a Boeing 707 reconfigured as a tanker for the mid-air refuelling of fighters and bombers based at Loring.The jet exploded in flight about four kilometres north of this border town, lighting up the pre-dawn sky and setting woods aflame near the Trans-Canada Highway.Debris, including chunks of twisted metal, was spreau over a one-kilometre radius.The plane's tail remained fairly intact, but it landed about a kilometre from the main fuselage which rested, virtually unrecognizable, on the side of a small ravine at the edge of a field.“It looked like somebody dropped a bomb,” said Rayanne Brennan, who was on the scene just minutes after the plane crashed.Brennan, editor of a local weekly newspaper, was one of several people who said they saw an open parachute on the ground near the site.The U.S.air force immediately sealed off the area.Officials would not speculate on the cause.As cold winds dusted the crash site with snow, the soldiers pitched tents and blocked off roadways.An American air force plane circled overhead.The U.S.infiltration is allowed under an agreement among NATO countries, explained Maj.Walt Chipchase of the Canadian Forces.Under the pact, a joint investigation or an investigation by Canada could also have been carried out.“What is happening is that the USAF is conducting the investigation and we are providing support,” said Chipchase.Canadian aircraft, tracker dogs, soldiers, RCMP and members of the provincial Emergency Measures Organization were helping out at the site.Paul McNally, a small-plane pilot who witnessed the mid-air explosion, said he was told by a Loring official that the jet was in a holding pattern, waiting to land at the airbase, when the blast occurred.“It was unbelievable,’’ said McNally.“I’ve never seen anything like it — it was like fireworks.” Sgt.Charlton Ritchie, a spokesman at the Loring airbase, said the crew — all experienced — were on a routine training mission.“They refuel other air force aircraft, return to the base,” said Ritchie, in a telephone interview.“The training mission is a flight that all the air force air crews undergo to remain proficient and to keep their skills honed.” Moreilham said about five such training missions are carried out in the area every day.Later Wednesday, another KC-135 followed the same flight path and landed without incident at Loring.During mid-air refuelling, the KC-135 trails a long boom capable of passing fuel to jet fighters or bombers.An aircraft needing fuel moves in behind the tanker plane and nuzzles a fuel-receiving arm into the boom.Residents of the area described hearing a terrific noise and seeing a flash of light when the jet exploded.The crash was followed by a horrible smell, a mixture of burning rubber and diesel oil.“The noise! My whole house shook — windows and everything,” said Anita Davenport, who lives across the Trans-Canada from the crash site.“1 heard two loud noises.I thought at first it must be an earthquake.“But when 1 walked out into the kitchen, all the front of the house was black — it was just black smoke and a terrible smell.” Weather Thursday sunny with frequent cloudy periods, windy at times, the high 11.Doonesbury BY GARRY TRUDEAU trump! wem our mP£2 VUHAî K1NPOF AMATWP HOUR APE YOU RUNNING HERE, l anyway * ,— j!

BEATON” The RKt'OHD—Thursday.IVtober 5.l»®-~3 The Townships #1___tel BGcara But ‘The Quebec perspective is different* - Beatty Don’t panic over birth rates, health minister tells Canada By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — Too many Canadians think birth rates are falling and that if immigrants are ~ used to offset this decline the national culture will disappear, says Health Minister Perrin Beatty.However Beatty admits that the strains of the falling birth rate are more acute in Quebec than in the rest of the country.“The Quebec perspective is different— the fertility decline was longer and steeper,” he said.“The issue here, amd I firmly believe that it is a Canadian issue, is that Quebec and the French language must maintain their proper weight in our nation and our culture.” Beatty spoke Wednesday at a Sherbrooke conference on demography — the study of population trends, which are affected by such things as the birth rate, aging of the population and immigration.MORE DRAMATIC Beatty told municipal representatives at the conference that there has been no significant decrease in fertility rates in Canada, but in Quebec the trends, and the reac- tion to them, have been more dramatic.“The concern they’ve had is that the demographic trends indicate a falling number of francophones in Canada and their concern is to ensure that the survival of the French Canadian culture and language are not lost as a consequence,” Beatty told reporters later.Quebec is different from the rest of the contry in that it has a greater control over immigration, Beatty said.Quebec uses that control to ensure a greater number of francophone immigrants come to the province.Quebec’s language law 101 also forces immigrant children to French schools in the hope of assimilating as many immigrants as possible.As for the rest of the country Beatty said reaction to changing demographics has been exaggerated — such as in the belief Canada will not be able to support its growing senior population.DYNAMIC “Some people fear that an aging population will leave us with an older country, not as dynamic and unable to compete with younger, more vibrant economies," he said."But we found that the Canada of the future closely resembles the Sweden of today — a prosperous and dynamic country which sees its older generation as a powerful resource.” Beatty also said that it’s a myth to believe the Canadian culture will disappear as immigrants come to Canada.“We are finding just the opposite — that our culture is being enriched through immigration," Beatty said.“Immigrants are making major contributions to our arts, literature, our education and our heritage.” Beatty said another myth is that increased immigration can reverse the aging trend.“On the contrary, we have established that immigrants reinforce the trends in Canadian society, in particular the trend towards a better-educated, culturally diverse, urban, cosmopolitan society,” he said.STUDY TRENDS Beatty said that three years ago Ottawa created a demography office to study population trends and Citizens help the system work Sherbrooke area health council welcomes new batch of leaders SHERBROOKE (AM) - A welcoming ceremony was held Wednesday for 167 newly elected members of the boards of directors of 36 health and social service institutions in the Sherbrooke area.These citizens have the task of overseeing the administration of their local government-run health and social services — such as community health clinics (CLSCs), senior citizens’ residences, adolescent group homes and hospitals.Among the newcomers a handful of anglophones could be found.They will represent the interests and views of the English-speaking community in the routine operations of the regional health-care system.Ruth Taylor, the former mayor of North Hatley, is one of the many new faces in the health-care management scene.Taylor ran for election to the board of Magog’s Alfred Desrochers CLSC this fall after the Townshippers’ Association anglo rights group asked her to.EVERYDAY LIFE “It’s very important for the English-speaking community to participate in the everyday life of the province.And I’ll be one of the English voices here at the CLSC,” Taylor said.Despite her inexperience in administration of the health-care sector, Taylor added that her 15 years on municipal council — eight as mayor and seven as a councillor— is a definite plus.But Taylor is not alone in her new career and the Estrie (Sherbrooke region) health council (CRSSSE) has no qualms about rookies.The welcoming ceremony was organized to introduce newcomers to each other, provide them with information into the health-care network, and make them aware of their duties and responsibilities as directors on the various boards.To make things a bit easier for the new directors, the CRSSSE is also holding courses to give them the skills needed for their jobs.FAIR SHARE Taylor said that once she settles into her new position, she will be looking to see if anglophones get their fair share of services and how Bill 142, the law that guarantees English service, is applied.However she said the Alfred Desrochers CLSC already does an excellent job in offering English-language services in Memphrema-gog regional municipality (MRC).“We can’t complain about service in Magog but I’ll be watching what’s going on and gain insight into it,” she said.Michael O’Donnell, second-year board member for the Richmond Home, was also part of the anglo presence Wednesday.He said he is working to see that his community remain as welcome as they always have been in the full-care residence for the elderly of Richmond region.Taking part in 'the everyday life of the province’ is essential fo English-speaking

and taking advantage of the opportunities created by these demographic trends,” he said.Since the office was formed its representatives have visited major Canadian communities including Sherbrooke to meet researchers, social policy groups, senior groups, women’s groups, ethnic communities, business interests, labor unions, as well as politicians and other organizations with scv mething relevant to

rider Local train not worth it, Charest says about Via By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — Bad news for local users of the Sherbrooke-Montreal Via run.As of Jan 15 it will be a thing of the past.However while that train will be lost, the Atlantic run — which connects Halifax to Montreal passing through Sherbrooke — will continue to come through town three times a week in each direction.Sherbrooke MP Jean Charest confirmed the bad news at a press conference Wednesday afternoon.The cuts were announced earlier in Ottawa by Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard.“In view of the imperatives and of the objective of creating a national, affordable and sustainable passenger rail network, I believe the federal government’s decision regarding the Via Rail passenger service between Sherbrooke and Montreal is reasonable,” Charest said."When you look at the circumstances it’s an acceptable compromise.” The Sherbrooke-Montreal route is one of 18 which will be eliminated by the Crowrn corporation as it reduces its network by 50 per cent and its workforce by 38 per cent.The cuts will save the federal government about $1 billion, Charest said.STILL LOSING Charest added that when the line was re-established in 1985 the government’s message was “use it or lose it”.Despite the fact the number of people using the trains was slowly increasing, at 35 per cent ridership level it was too expensive to keep the line going.The Sherbrooke MP dismissed the idea that the Sherbrooke-Montreal train could have become viable if allowed to continue for a few more years.“Many people started taking the trains because they thought they would disappear,” Charest said “But the reality is that most people don’t use the trains." Charest said the cost of running the Sherbrooke Montreal route was about $1 29 million and it had a deficit of $1.08 million.“That means it cost taxpayers $50 for each person who took the train,” he said.While the cuts will mean the loss of 2671 jobs accross Canada, Cha rest said he is not sure if the one or two local jobs will be affected.fgg|p WJktr.-*i RKCOKD/PERRY BEATON Via s

competition with hospitals across the country, Sherbrooke’s YouviUe Hospital has been chosen by the fe- deral government to create a new program for elderly people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.Federal Health Minister Perrin RECORD/PERRY BEATON Cheque shot: Federal Health Minister Perrin Beatty hands an envelope to YouviUe Hospital researcher Dr.Réjean Hébert.Beatty was in town Wednesday to annouce the hospital will receive nearly $100,000 to create a program designed to provide support to families who live with people suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia Families will learn about the disease, how it develops and how to better cope with loved ones affected by it.The program, to be developed by Dr.Réjean Hébert, director of the geriatrics research unit at You ville, will later be studied through the use of a control group to assess its effectiveness.“The serious and increasingly widespread nature of Alzheimer’s disease deserves the type of program which the hospital will be developing and I am pleased to support it,” Beatty said at a press conference at YouviUe.A total of $93,015 will be given to the hospital over three years, through the National Welfarip Grants program.The program is designed to encourage provincial and municipal welfare depaf tments, voluntary social servicfe agencies and other organizations to conduct research and undertake activities which demonstrate new ways of providing social services and resolving social welfare problems.Backhoe terminates tire blaze Firemen called to Desourdy pit ASCOT TOWNSHIP — A thick, black stream of smoke came rising from the Désourdy gravel pit around suppertime Wednesday, after a pile of discarded tires went up in flames.The heap of about 50 tires burned for almost an hour while Sher-brooice firefighters doused the smelly blaze with more than 500 gallons of water.burning rubber is not the easiest material to extinguish.So the firefighters eventually gave up on the water, borrowed oneof Désourdy’s backhoe shovels and buried the blaze with sand “If we hadn’t have buried the tires, they could have burned all night,” said fire department Lieut.Claude Côté.Côté said the cause of the fire is unknown.Since there is a cement kiln beside the tire pile and the gravel company has the permit nee- ded to incinerate its old tires, cote said he doubts that the company acted in bad faith However he added that tires can’t be lit simply with newpapefs and matches.“Fuel had to be ap plied to the tires, especially since the weather is so cold," Côté said But he concluded that no investigation is needed because no nearby homes or property were endange red by the blaze. 4-r-The RECORD—Thursday, October 5, 1989 #¦_______««SI Kocora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Accused in position of double-jeopardy?Human rights have carved a deserved notch in our judicial system so it will be very interesting to learn whether or not the commission of empowered by the Minister of Education to conduct allegations of mismanagement, fraud, and other supposed wrongdoings by employees and other people associated with the Davignon Regional School Board will proceed as scheduled.Two defence lawyers have raised the issue a parallel police investigation involving the same basic facts is underway.They have argued — properly as far as this writer is concerned — their clients will be placed in a position of double jeopardy if they have to testify at a public inquiry or be found in contempt when they have the right to remain silent under questioning by the police.Allegations have been rampant for several years over the administration of the Davignon Board and the abuse of public funds by certain of its employees.The current public investigation mandated by Education Minister Claude Ryan will turn out to be a witch-hunt if it proceeds at the same time as the police investigation.If the police investigation reveals sufficient proof for criminal charges they will undoubtedly be laid.The accused will then have the right ! to a trial by a jury of their peers when members of the public at large can decide on guilt or innocence.Quebec’s Justice Minister halted coroner’s inquests into murder cases not too many years ago after reflecting the crown was making use of them for “fishing trips” to substantiate proof later on in proceedings.That step eliminated another form of double jeopardy.We can’t have two systems of weights and measures.Personalities have no part to play in this argument, it comes down to the almost time-worn adage, “Not only must justice be done, it must be seen to have been done.” JOHN McCAGHEY Illegal driftnets — an ideological time bomb?By Miro Cemetig ; .VICTORIA (CP) — A hint of one of the biggest environmental threats to the Pacific Ocean often washes up in the surf here.It is wispy mesh of clear nylon fishing line called a driftnet, a form of fishing described by some scientists as an ecological time bomb.“One driftnet I picked up had a fur seal in it so rotted it was green,” says Ted Carter, a scientist with the Department of Fisheries.“It also had a live dogfish, so the net must have been floating out there for a while catching marine life.” That 200 metre segment of net was adrift so long that barnacles were growing on it.Currents had rolled the net into a ball so heavy a fork truck was needed to pick it up.Each morning, from April until October, the driftnet fleet — made up of as many as 800 fishing boats from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan — drops more than 35,000 kilometres of driftnet into the North Pacific.The use of driftnets is banned in Canadian and U.S.waters.The nets hang like undersea drapes, forming an al most invisible wall extending 10 metres below the sur face for as long as 50 kilometres.The fishermen say they are there to catch red squid.But at sunset, when electric winches wind the nets back on to deck, fishermen find much more than that.Dolphins, sea turtles, salmon, birds, sharks and even whales tangle themselves in the nylon filament.The vast majority are removed and thrown over the side, wasted.“I find it offensive,” federal Fisheries Minister Tom Siddon said.“If I had my personal way I’d probably want to end it tomorrow.” HUGE CATCH The U.S.National Marine Fisheries Service estimates the driftnet toll of Pacific seabirds is one million each year.Other scientists have estimated 50,000 or more mammals die in the nets.After pressure from environmentalists, Siddon an nounced a complete ban on driftnet fishing in Canadian waters.Nobody is really sure, however, just how big the carnage is from the use of driftnets in the North Pacific.The study of marine life beyond the continental shelf is relatively new and a definitive answer whether driftnets will cause an ecological collapse is difficult.“No one has that information,” says Dick Beamish, jljrector of the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, fi.C.“The driftnets are currently the biggest threat to »e marine mammal population and seabirds.“There is a significant impact.But we just can’t say [^exactly what it is yet.” Canada has been trying to gather such data, and the Department of Fisheries has placed five research 'Scientists aboard the Arctic Harvester, a trawler fishing alongside other driftnet vessels to collect scientific data about of the effects of driftnet fishing on wildlife and the salmon industry.NO TIME Some, however, maintain there is little time for prolonged study.In the South Pacific, where a fleet one-fifth the size of its North Pacific counterpart fish for albacore tuna, scientists are predicting the collapse of the fishery in a few years.“Our scientists have decided they have enough data to predict the stocks would collapse in two to three years,” says Judith Swan, a Canadian working with the Forum Fishing Agency that represents 1G South Pacific countries.The South Pacific driftnet fleet, which quintupled in size last year to 1B0 vessels, is growing because other areas have been “fished dry,” contends Swan.Such evidence has made driftnets a leading concern of West Coast environmentalists.Letters Good name oj Bishop's dragged^ through the mud In the last week or two I have seen the good name of Bishop’s University continually dragged through the mud.At first I thought it was just the ravings of a few people whose own lives were so empty and meaningless that they had nothing better to do than criticize those people trying to better themselves.However, this past week it seems everyone has been jumping on the bandwagon.Having held my tongue as long as possible I now feel compelled to express my anger at the stupidity of some of the comments made in the Record recently.We have all heard the expression “one bad apple ruins the bunch.” In a population as large as the student population at Bishop's there are bound to be a few bad apples, but to label an entire population because of the antics of a few.is to say the least, narrow-minded.One article I found particularly annoying was written by B.D.Kyle and printed in the Sept 19 issue (Letters-ed).In the article he compared the Bishop’s students of 20 years ago with those of today.Comparing the nota-riety of students then to that of students now is narrow mindedness at its extreme.To make a comparison such as that one must take into consideration the dramatic increase in the student population.the increased population of Lennoxville itself, and the ever changing attitudes of society as a whole To simply state that the students of today are getting into more trouble than the students of 20 years ago is a pathetic attempt to express a totally unsubstatiated narrow view of the situation.I entered Bishop’s this year as a mature student and single mother of a three-year old.Being a mature stu- dent I entered the school with the pre-concie ved notion that I would be in the midst of a group of children.I have been pleasantly surprised at the maturity of most of the students I have met Anyone who considers these people a group of wild beer drinking children should spend a day in classes with the serious, hard working students which I have the honour of calling my peers.Sincerely, MONICA THEYSON Bishop s University Lennoxville We have enjoyed the Record Sorry no name Dear Mr.Bury, I have not renewed my

they’re now 42 and beginning to enter their prime savings years,” Foot says.“So.for the last 20 or 30 years capital has been very scarce,” and the real interest rate has been high.“Capital is going to become increasingly abundant in the years ahead as the baby boom generation enters its prime savings years,” and real interest rates will fall.And that means income from annuities and other forms of retirement savings will be reduced.So baby boomers face some unique problems in preparing for retirement — problems that will take special thought.Business brief MONTREAL (CP) — Short Brothers PLC, the Northern Ireland aerospace manufacturer, became an integral unit of Bombardier Inc.on Wednesday when the final acquisition contracts were signed by Bombardier chairman Laurent Beaudoin and Peter Brooke, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.“Shorts will be a key member of the Bombardier family of companies as we meet the great challenges and stimulating opportunities of the next decade and of the 21st century,” said Beaudoin.With the addition of Shorts, Bombardier’s workforce totals more than 20,000 people in Canada, the United States, Austria, Belgium, France, Britain, Finland and Sweden.Garavou says: ¦ Garai'ou is the name given by the CSST to its mascot, the little yellow hand whose job is to warn all (Quebecers to prevent work-related accidents and diseases."THE ASSOCIATES" Professional Services for Individuals & Businesses We Settle Estate» Eitote ond Income Tax Planning Full Range of Consulting, Tax & Accounting Services Assistance with Financing, ond Government Grants Family Form Transfers W.D, DUKE ASSOCIATES LTD.109 William SI.Cowansville, Quebec J2K 1K9 514-263-4123 W.D.DUKE, B.Comm., C.A.J.R.BOULE, B.A.WILLIAM G.DUKE, B.Comm., MBA JOHN GLOVER ViCKY DUKE, Estate Officer Mallette Benoit Boulanger Rondeau CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS PEOPLE YOU CAN COUNT ON!

EDMONTON (CP) — It’s about time Prime Minister Brian Mulro-ney formed a special group of high-powered bureaucrats and others to sell the proposed federal sales tax to skeptical Canadians, Don Blen-karn said today."I think it's essential that we have an education process take place so that people understand really what we re trying to do,” said Blenkarn.chairman of the Commons finance committee and one of the biggest boosters for the proposed federal sales tax.“I was hoping that he would do something like that earher,” Blenkarn told reporters before his committee resumed hearings in Edmonton into the tax.A Finance Department official who asked not to be identified confirmed that the federal government has formed a select group of political aids and civil servants to better co-ordinate Ottawa’s campaign to sell the nine-per-cent tax on a broad range of goods and services.The official said the group will beef up the government’s selling job in the face of a nation-wide backlash against the proposed tax.which is scheduled to replace the existing 13.5 per cent federal sales tax charged on most manufactured products.Blenkarn bristled when reporters asked at what point the government’s information campaign could become political propaganda.DEFENDS PROGRAM ”1 guess if you want to criticize an educational program, you’re going to say it's propaganda.” the chairman said.“But I think it’s important that people understand how the federal sales tax that we have right now works and understand why we would like to get rid of it.” Asked how big an information campaign the federal government needs to explain the tax, Blenkarn said: “Well, you're probably going to need a great deal of communication and you might need as much as $100 million worth.” In Vancouver

proposed nine-per-cent tax rate could be cut by two percentage points if Wilson eliminates $3.1 billion in benefits designed to cushion the blow of the tax.said Michael Walker, executive director of the Fraser Institute.The tax rate could drop even further if Wilson taxed food, Walker told the committee.He argued the tax will have the same impact on rich and poor because most people spend all of their incomes during their lives."It’s not a matter of being right wing or left wing or being a bleeding heart or not a bleeding heart, it’s a matter of being bleeding stupid.” Walker said.BE LESS ABLE NDP finance critic Lome Nys-trom said Walker’s comments defy common sense that poor people will be less able to pay the new sales tax."Talk about being bleeding stu pid, I think we have an example of it right here this morning,” Nys-trom replied.Even Conservative MP Bill Atte-well found Walker’s comments Career hard to swallow “I’d like to sec you at an alfe candidates' meeting

would be a hidden tax."It mutes the voice of opposition to the tax.” he said, urging the finance minister to delay the tax until he can work out a joint federal-provincial sales tax.q From the other

bank’s security division said Wednesday.The $12-million case, currently in the hands of police, concerned a group of money launderers and involved other Canadian banks and their help, Ted Porter told a news briefing.He refused to give any more details of the case.The situation was one of 80 potential money-laundering cases that came before CIBC officials in 1988 after tellers were shown a bank-produced video informing them of how to spot innocent-looking couriers, known as smurfs, or unusual bank transactions that might be the seed of a major money- laundering scam.So far this year 140 diverse cases have come before his 13-member security squad across Canada, with 17 of those —- some with international implications — going to the RCMP for further investigation.“We’re talking about a broad spectrum —- from unsophisticated smurfing operations to those that appeared to be tied to organized crime,” said Porter, who spent 10 years with the RCMP before taking on his current position six years ago.The aim of money laundering is to conceal the profits of the ill-gotten gains of the drug trade, or other forms of organized crime, in banks and other legitimate businesses without leaving records of transactions.BILINGUAL HORTICULTURAL SALES REPRESENTATIVE District Sales Representative for Eastern Quebec area to service established and prospective customers, for a major

Our son will soon be attending kindergarten.— A Loving Wife Dear Wife: Twenty percent of Americans (or 1 in 5) are functionally illiterate.How sad it is that these people are cheating themselves out of so many basic pleasures.They can be helped, but they must seek it.Here are specific guidelines: Check your telephone directory for a local chapter of one of the following organizations: Laubach Literacy Action (P.O.Box 131, Dept.AL, Syracuse, N.Y.13210) and Literacy Volunteers of America (5795 Widewaters Parkway, Dept A, Syracuse, N.Y.13214).If there is no listing, write and they will refer you to a local literacy program.Public libraries are also a good source of help.They are usually connected to a literacy program or have listings of places that these people can go to for help.I wish you luck, dear.Dear Ann Landers: I hope you will not consider this too trivial a complaint to merit space in your column because I don’t know of a better way to reach the great American public.Every time I hear someone say, “I feel badly,” I want to scream.Sometimes I do.Ann Landers Thanks to the TV scriptwriters, who slept during English grammar classes, everybody in the world is now “feeling badly” about something or other.The only way a person can feel badly is if he has injured his hands in some way and cannot feel properly.But anybody can feel bad.The best way to remember this is to remind yourself that a person cannot feel badly any more than he can feel sadly.Make my day and print this in your column.— Honolulu Reader Dear Hon: Your day is made.Here it is.And now, may I tell you about a common grammatical error that drives me up the wall?When I hear someone say, “between you and I,” my hackles go up and I must fight with myself to keep from saying, “Please! It’s between you and ME.” An easy way to remember this is to tell yourself that “between” has two “e’s”.The twin “e’s” need a triplet.It can be found in the word “me.” Dear Ann Landers: I just read a news story about a 29-year-old gun collector from Boca Raton who was looking at a .22-caliber Marlin semi-automatic rifle in the sporting goods department of a K mart.He failed to check to see if the rifle was loaded dand shot himself in the toe.The man sued the store.Now get this: He was buying the gun as a gift for his 6-year-old son in honour of his graduation from the first grade.Can you imagine a 6-year-old child owning a semi-automatic REDUCTION FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED rifle?What on earth is going on?Please address this in your column.It is everybody’s concern.— Seattle Dear Seattle: I thought when the world learned that the rifle that killed President Kennedy was purchased by mail order, the citizens of this country would demand laws that would make firearms much more difficult to get.I was wrong Guns of every conceivable kind are available in far too many cities to anyone who wants to buy one.Until we have a national gun law that covers every statem this sort of abomination will continue.Dear Ann Landers: I am writing in response to the letter from “Gram in Indiana” who was concerned because her daugher and son-in-law chain-smoke around their baby.I am a 37-year-old woman with chronic lung problems.Every day is a fight to breathe.I am terrified of catching a cold because it goes to my lungs and I end up in the emergency room.I can’t dance with my husband, run with my children or even call to them because of the strain on my lungs.To ba around a smoker is torture for me and makes me ill for days.I am a prisoner in my own body, unable to do the normal things others take for granted.Ann, although I have never smoked, my parents and their friends were all heavy smokers.I lived in smoke-filled homes and rode in smoke-filled cars.My lungs began deteriorating when I was 7.No disease, just a lung “weakness,” the doctors said.I now know that my lung problems are the result of 18 years of breathing secondhand smoke.I am not angry at my parents.When I was growing up no one knew that cigarettes killed peole and that being around smokers was bad for one’s health.If I sound like a bit of a loon, I admit it, It’s very hard to be deprived of good health and watch others have it and not be bitter.I would gladly give back every gift my parents ever gave me for a set of health lyngs.I hope that couple who chainsmoke in the presence of their small child see this.It is no exaggeration to say they could be killing her.— Portland, Ore.Dear Portland: I realize I have printed a great many letters on this subject, but no way could I pass up one as poignant and powerful as yours.STar Break This Gem of the Day came from Lorin Hess of Salt Lake City.It was seen in Modern Maturity magazine: A preppy-looking man was arrested for peddling “Fountain of Youth” pills that promised to reverse the aging process.When he came before the judge, His Honour was outraged at such a scam and asked if the man had had a record of prior arrests.“Yes, indeed, said the prosecutor, referring to her notes.“He was arrested for the same offense in 1981, 1965, 1942, 1908,1873,1847.”.Think globally, but act locally With the hoopla of the 1989 provincial election behind us, and a relatively new federal government working for us in Ottawa, many of us have breathed a sign of relief believing that now we can leave the politicking to the politicians.Not so! As responsible citizens, we should always keep attuned to the “political” scene.During the next few weeks, our attention should be focussed at the municipal level of government.The mandate of mayors and municipal councillors terminate this fall in about two-thirds of Eastern Townships municipalities (in 92 of the 125 municipalities in Estrie; in 142 of the 229 municipalities in Monteregie).Cheek with the secretary-treasurer of your municipality to determine the status of your municipal council.Municipal office telephone numbers may be found in the blue pages at the back of your telephone directory.As each of us becomes more and more concerned about our surroundings, about the quality of life in the community in which we live, we need to encourage ourselves and one another to take a more active role in our communities.One of the ways in which we can do this is by participating in the political process.It is important that we make our concerns known at all levels of government, by attending municipal council meetings, writing letters, and making telephone calls to our elected officials.More and more of us should also consider running for public office.Municipal councils are regularly called upon to make decisions affecting us directly in areas such as municipal services, road maintenance, land use, recreational activities and environmental issues.The municipality of Danville has been working for some time to develop plans to protect the unique architectural character of many of its homes and its trees.My own council requested that Hydro-Quebec use only manual or mechanical means to keep clear the corridor underneath its line and refuse the use of chemicals.If you are concerned about a muni- cipal issue (for example, land use, fire protection, day care services, etc.), contact your municipal office, by letter or by phone and ask to be on the agenda of the next meeting.Regular meetings are held at 8 p.m.the first Monday of the month.Keeping in touch By Susan C.Mastine Become involved in politics?Never! .famous last words.I speak from experience.Years ago, if someone had told me that one day I would hold a political office, I would have responded, “No way!” However, two years ago, I was encouraged to submit my candidature for the position of municipal councillor.I gave all of the traditional negative responses: “I know nothing about how the council works nor the dossiers being worked on,.I’m not that well known in the community, .I have no time.” Since then, I have never regretted saying “Yes”.I have found the experience stimulating, rewarding, informative, and yes, sometimes frustrating, but never, ever dull! As in any organization, each council member brings his or her own knowledge and expertise, concerns and opinions to the table.Each contributes in his or her own way, whether it be by making suggestions, clarifying issues or communicating community needs.The Ministry of Municipal Affairs is very supportive.Courses for newly-elected mayors and councillors are offered annually in each MRC.The ministry also distributes a brochure to those new to the municipal scene, publishes a monthly magazine, “Municipalité”, and organizes special information sessions whenever a new law or regulation affecting municipalities comes into effect.Each member of the council is also given a copy of the Quebec Municipal Code.Submissions for candidature are now being accepted by the president of elections of your mu- nicipality, in most cases, the secretary-treasurer.Candidature declaration forms are available from your municipal office.They must be completed and submitted no later than 4:30 p.m., October 13,1989.Signatures of support are an obligatory part of the candidature form.The required number is 5, if the municipality has less than 5,000 residents ; 10, if the municipality numbers between 5,000 and 19,999 inhabitants; 25, if the population is 20,000 or more.To be eligible for municipal office, a potential candidate must be at least 18 years of age, a Canadian citizen, and as of September 1,1989 have lived within the municipality for at least twelve months, on either a permanent or an occasional (e.g.a secondary residence) basis.More information may be obtained from your regional office of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs : • Estrie Region: 200 Belvedere North, Office RC-09, Sherbrooke, (819) 564-1244 • Monteregie: Bureau regional de Montreal, Complex Desjardins, 26th Floor, Montreal, (514) 873-5487 Campaign financing in cities of more than 20,000 population falls under the jurisdiction of the Direction régionale des elections du Quebec (1-800-463-4378).Dates to remember in terms of municipal elections are : October 13 — deadline for candidature submissions.October 14 — public note announcing dates and times for revision of electoral list.October 29 — advance poll.November 5 — municipal election.Our community can only benefit from a more effective participation of its citizens.Consider becoming a candidate in this municipal election, encourage a potential candidate, make an informed choice on election day.Continue to be involved after election day, at all levels of government.As more and more of us demonstrate an interest and actively participate in the political process, our elected officials will become more aware of our needs and concerns, more representative of our communities./•» Specialist .tat & FI

of 16 and 20.In fact, McDonald's is the seventh largest employer in Québec and more importantly, the largest employer of young people.MCDONALD'S forever maintains that its young people are vital to its success.They've never been regarded as mere numbers, rather as people who can run a viable enterprise by working together.CONSEQUENTLY, McDonald's believes in providing the ideal framework by which to achieve this end.A framework of comprehensive training and continual reinforcement.MCDONALD’S gives young people a solid foundation through a program of basic instruction, guidance and gradual apprenticeship.They receive a performance evaluation and salary review after three months, and then three times a year.IN addition, there are numerous social and recreational activities from which the crew can benefit.There are also student grants distributed, while the “employee of the month’’ programs publicly announce their excellence.MCDONALD’S employees quickly learn skills that last a lifetime, since the concepts of punctuality, teamwork, efficiency, responsibility and public service are integral to personal development and success.AND considering that 90% of McDonald’s senior personnel started out as crew themselves, it is quite clear that McDonald’s fundamentally believes in the future of every blossom.i ?Y Tv ¦ -•Tv-Y' : IfTW, .viKivW: Wwà fr ' : _V * ; CIIÉ -.MRS “If

ours for Him we sang a hymn of love.“Love Divine and Love Excelling”.Betty recalled a video we had seen last year about Martin the Cobbler who waited for a Lord to come.He did not, at first, realize that all the people he had helped were in reality an image of God.What you do unto others you do unto Me.The devotional finished with the singing of “Come let us Sing of a Wonderful Love.” The June minutes were read by Bobby Cochrane and approved as read.The treasurer’s report was read and the visits for the summer were totalled at ninety-three.The board report was read and thanks given to all

satisfied! When Winter blows it’s icy breath We cringe, and stay inside.Complaints are heard - both loud and long: “Too cold - or snow too deep” Or else the storms rage round the door -Disturb our peaceful sleep.The spring is far too short, my dear, Gardens and crops are in too late.Flowers hang their sopping heads Shrubbery sags on garden gates! Then summer comes, with scorching heat And fans run night and day We hope this heat-wave ends real soon -Before we melt away! Then Autumn comes - oh, how it comes In all its glorious splendour -We gaze and gaze - and feast our eyes Store up scenery to remember.For Fall is “moderate” - yet grand.And bus loads come in droves To view the autumn foliage Wend their way round sheltered coves.Scarce indeed are complaints each Fall (Perhaps they speed too fast) A common sentiment is heard: “If this could only last”.If this could only last, my dear We’d all become blasé.But I for one, when Autumn comes Enjoy each grand and gorgeous day.MARGE MONTGOMERY September 1989 NOW Now you have gone, Now you have left me all alone.Why did you leave me?Why did you shut me out in the cold?Now you no longer love, Now you no longer want to know.Why can’t you spare some time to listen to my heart Now you will not listen Now of me you’re no longer a part.Why do you refuse to hear The words you know are true.Now my thoughts of you are getting to be so few Now what is there for me to do.Why did you go?Why did you leave me all alone?TO MEMORIES Whenever I get lonely, you’re always there to hold me close.Whenever I’m sad you show me that life isn’t so bad.Memories I love you because you’re one thing 1 have left to hold onto and caress.Whenever I’m down or blue, all I have to do memories, is think of you.When we were alone and time just flew, there are some of the few memories I have left of you.When I hurt, all I have to do is look back on my memories and I can smile again.Both above poems by GLORIA LENEY Brieflets Deaths SHERBROOKE Autumn Ham and Scallop Supper, Church of the Advent Hall, Saturday, October 21, 3:30 p.m.to 6:30 p.m.Admission $5.00.Card of Thanks MORSON — On behalf of Mary and myself, we wish to extend our sincere and grateful thanks to all our family and friends for the most wonderful (and surprising) 50th Wedding Anniversary Party held for us on September 22.We also wish to thank you all most sincerely for your attendance, and for the many gifts that we received.Also, we wish expe-cially to extend our most grateful thanks to our daughter Evelyn and our neice Barbara for all their planning, which we now understand goes back to last May!
