changes in the federal system are clearly necessary” and they will work for constitutional changes to benefit all regions of C anada The federal system has proved to be flexible, the statement said, and “the aspirations of Quebecers can be accom modated within the system The premiers said they wanted to reaffirm their previously-stated opposition to Quebec separation following the release of the Parti Québécois white paper on sovereignty association There is nothing contained in the white paper on sovereignty association issued last week by the Quebec government that would in any way cause them to alter their views, they said Lougheed said the statement was issued because it is important the people of Quebec understand there can be no negotiation of sovereignty associ ation on behalf of

NOV 8 1979 — 2 Booklet aims to stop exodus of young MONTREAL (CP) - A booklet that mixes pep talk and true confessions with practical career advice is being distributed to English language students, en couraging them to integrate into Quebec* society The booklet, titled The NonFrancophone ( areer Lanctot has no regrets MONTREAL (CP) An unrepentant Jacques Lanctot says he should get a light sentence for the October, 1970 kidnapping of British diplomat James (toss because it made Quebecers realize they are an “oppressed national minority.” The former FLQ terrorist, who pleaded guilty to the kid napping Wednesday, went on to tell the court how.in his opinion, he had advanced the cause of Quebec in dependence Sessions court Judge Yves Mayrand set sentencing for today on charges of kidnapping, forcible detention, ex tort ion and conspiracy The judge left little doubt the 33-year-old Lanctot was headed for jail “I will allow your client to enjoy a final meal with his family,” he told defence lawyer Robert Lemieux, well known for defending Front de Liberation du Quebec members.Lanctot returned to Canada from France last January on the heels of Jacques and Louise Fossette Trudel.his sister and brother-in-law, who belonged to the same b LQ cell that kidnapped (Voss Permitted to plead on his own behalf, Lanctot argued Wednesday that his deep commitment to Quebec independence justifies leniency in his sentencing He specifically refused to “recognize my so-called error and show repentence.” NO BETRAYAL “To do this would be proof that I am nothing but a delinquent If I did it.1 would betray the noble cause for which I sacrificed everything ” He quoted a lengthy poem and a magazine article by proindependence Quebec entertainers as proof that the October Crisis had made Quebecers aware that they were an “oppressed national minority Reading mechanically from a prepared text, the casually dressed Lanctot stated —That he now rejects terrorism because the Parti Québécois government plans to achieve the independence of Quebec peacefully —That he returned from exile first in Cuba, later in France to be among friends, family and comrades at a time when independence “is closer than ever to being attained” —That he had received much support as an exile from the Castro regime and, unlike the Fossette Trudels, had no complaints about Cuba, where he was a sugar-cane harvester, apprentice electrician and translator for the Communist party newspaper —That the federal government used the October Crisis as an excuse to oppress Quebec.Weather

cabinet minister said on Wednesday that at least 1 5 million Quebecers support his option He is proposing a confederation between the current system of federalism and the sovereignty association pro posed by the PQ His estimate of support came from results of un published opinion polls supplied to him by friends He did not elaborate He promised to submit his petition to the government before Dec 21.the date on which the PQ is to unveil the wording of its proposed referendum question Tremblay’s chances of getting his option on the ballot are poor Quebec law says any question in any referendum must be proposed by the government and approved by a simple majority in the national assembly The PQ holds a majority in the assembly A petition campaign would have no legal force Tremblays proposal resembles the PQ white paper on sovereignty-association in many respects.but departs from it on the issue of federal jurisdiction over foreign affairs Jerome denies role in SC deal OTTAWA (FP) Speaker James Jerome told the Commons on Wednesday he did not take part in any deal to give Social Credit MPs speaking privileges in ex change for their support of the minority Tory govern merit in a non confidence vote Jerome and Government House Leader Walter Baker denied any impropriety during a procedural debate in which Liberal MPs expressed suspicions about a meeting between Baker and Jerome on the issue of Social Credit status in the House A Liberal non confidence motion was defeated by 140 to 138 Tuesday when all five Social ( redit MPs voted with the Tories.Liberals said privately that they believed the Tories had bought off the Social Creditors Some MPs said if Jerome had not given Social (’redit Leader Fabien Roy speaking priority during debate on the Liberal motion, Roy would not have supported the Tories Jerome said there was nothing improper about a meeting in which Baker suggested he call the Liberal and NDP House leaders together to discuss the Social Credit’s demand for party status in the Commons and the right to speak immediately after the two major opposition parties DENIED SI GG ESTIONS Baker said he was concerned about the atmosphere developing in the House because of the Social (’redit issue but denied suggestions that he made represen tat ions to the Speaker to give the Social Credit members more generous treatment in the House Liberal House Leader Allan MacEachen argued that it was totally improper for Baker to approach the Speaker alone.Yvon Pinard ( L— Drummond) said Liberal skepticism over Baker's behavior stems from several factors, including the reality that it is in the government’s interest to gain Social (’redit support He said there has been a gradual de facto recognition of the Social Credit group in the House and these factors may have affected the result of Tuesday’s vote News in brief Salvador leftists free Yanks SAN SALVADOR (AP) A Salvadorean leftist guerrilla gang freed two U S businessmen kidnapped seven weeks

relishes footloose life BELVIDERE, 111 (NKAi-The hobo's life isn’t what it used to be, says “Fry Pan” Jack Fisk, one of about 175 old-timers still riding the rails Fisk, 64, is a Kris Kringle figure with piercing blue eyes set in a face burned red by sun and wind and framed with white tufts of beard and hair.Stopping by a local bar on his way to Chicago or who knows where, he* panhandles a beer and talks of the friendly old days and the raw new ones.Fisk started on the rails in 1928 “My sister sent me out for a loaf of bread,” he recalls, “and I saw a passenger train and grabbed myself up.A man saw me and gave me $1.He never should have done that because I thought, well, this must be the life.” After leaving his native Seattle, Fisk visited each of the continental United States in the his first three years on the rails.“I’d work a month or two weeks and move on,” he says.He worked as a fruit and cotton picker, a structure worker, an odd-job man and a baker's and butcher’s boy.In the old days, hobos V' : , «% v f4mÆ v \-iù *• > “FRY PAN” Jack Fisk does not regret the half-century he has spent riding the rails.“I’d do the same damn thing over again,” he says, “but I don’t advise young kids to do it.” were a close-knit brotherhood, working by day for food or money and sharing their dinners by night in the hobo jungles.“When I first started, we helped each other,” says Fisk.“Someone would have something to eat and we'd all share it.” Hobos followed their own routes in those days; old-timers like Fisk still do.His route is from Seattle to Chicago to Los Angeles.Even during the Depression, Fisk had little trouble finding jobs when he wanted them.“I was young and husky and could always get work,” he says.He remembers the swell of the hobo community in those days as men who lost regular jobs began riding the rails.___________- “There were babies riding in the boxcars then,” he says.“There was no Social Security or welfare.Before the NRA and the CCC and those things started, you could go to the boxcars and see 500 or 600 men.” Does he ever regret the way he has spent his life9 ‘Hell no!” he responds “I’d do the same damn thing over again, but I don’t advise young kids to do it Don’t make it sound too good to the kids to go on the rail.I’m against it.I’ve seen too many young girls, too many kiddie runaways be taken advantage of.” Fisk considers himself a religious man “I don’t believe the things most people believe,” he says.“I believe in a hereafter when my soul will float around from star to star and go jumping from one planet to another.And someday it may just go into a new baby.” Back on the street after finishing his beer, Fisk spots a bushy-haired bystander eating his lunch The old hobo’s voice changes at once from a conversational tone to a resounding panhandler’s bellow.“Hi there, young fellow.Don’t you wish you could be footloose like me?With no more hair on your head than I’ve got?Can you spare half that sandwich for an old man like me?.” —?- ( OOKSHIRK Mrs E.S.Heatheringlon Mrs Kenneth Fraser accompanied John Sc holes and Mrs Nellie Scholes to Thetford Mines and Kin-near s Mills to attend the funeral

1945, all the kids with pensions started running up and down the rails,” says Fisk.“But they weren’t smart They didn’t leave an address and the U S.took their pensions away.” Professional hobos like Fisk know better.He lists his brother’s home in Seattle as his address and has his monthly Social Security checks deposited directly into a bank account.Those checks don’t last long.“They don’t last me a week,” Fisk says.“When I get to chasing young girls, I gotta spend some money.” He also admits to being a “Holiday Inn man” when his budget allows Standing at the bar, Fisk digs his hand into his pocket to pull out a quarter, a dime, a nickle and seven pennies his current monetary holdings.“It doesn’t bother me a bit,” he says.“I’m one of the best panhandlers.I’m not ashamed.” Unlike some hobos, Fisk prefers riding the rails to walking.And he opts for boxcars over gondola cars.Card Party AYER S CLIFF - A very successful 500 card party was held at the Canadian Legion Hall on Saturday
