her own field” Dr Karl Keupper.the new dean at the university sees his role as one of co-ordinating the individuals and representing them and their interests Keupper.who began his term as dean this academic-year.comes to Bishop's from the University of New Brunswick where he has been assistant professor of German since 1965.His experience is not limited to teaching, however, since he served two terms as acting associate dean of Arts at UNB The decision to pick up all roots and move to Quebec wasn’t an easy one for Keupper Although he felt it was time for a change, he was established at the university and he was becoming well know n in his field, having published several academic papers in the past years.The leadership role he accepted at Bishop's is an enjoyable one mainly because of the many advantages he feels the university has to offer Keupper sees the small university as an island within Quebec which is in turn an island within Canada The socio cultural advantages of being exposed to such an environment are enormous, he believes What Bishop's offers to the community in terms of facilities such as the sports complex and the arena and cultural activities is unique in Canada for such a small university town Keupper is impressed with the amount of support given by the community for the continuing edu cation program.“It is not typical of such a small town to have such a large continuing education program This allows a lot of programs at different levels and broadens horizons.” Within the structure of the university.Dr.Keupper sees no immediate problems, although he would like to see more academic co-operation with Université de Sherbrooke He noted that individual professors had already taken steps in this direction in second language teaching With more and more bilingual students, he believes that co-operation will become better in the future Bishop's is in a good position as compared to other uni versities in the face of declining enrollment, he said In view of its small size and the trend for other universities to divide into smaller colleges.Bishop's will not be* hurt as much by a lower enrollment With the facilities Bish op's has to offer and the callibre of students, the institution has a good future “We want excellent students and we don't cost more than McGill or Concordia.'' he stated Keupper.his wife and their two children have bought land in Lennoxville and are planning to build a house in the near future Although the children had trouble adjust ing to French schools at the beginning of the year, they are getting along

selection illustrates independent ways Alexander Craig leader pledged to work for the No vote Special status is something Quebec may not have in constitutional terms, but if there is one thing Quebecers are aware of above all else it’s that they’re different from other Canadians The latest political manifestation of this came in Quebec Cith last Sunday when Quebec Conservatives chose their own leader rather than the one Ottawa wanted It was admittedly a narrow victory -113 to 292 votes There was a lot of Montreal as well as Ottawa support behind the losing candidate, Jean Guilbeault, legal adviser for the federal Tories in every election campaign since 1962 The winner, Marcel Danis, an intense and energetic 36-year-old, also a lawyer from Montreal, scraped in not just because his longer campaign marshalled the forces of young people but also because he had the support of the traditionalist Union Nationale: in 1967-68 Danis worked as a special adviser to Daniel Johnson, the province’s last Union Nationale premier Ottawa wanted to start anew, and build a completely new branch of the PC’s in Quebec, but Danis and his followers want to rebuild, together with the remnants of the once dominant provincial right-wing party.Danis is more aggressively federalist than Guilbeault, who seemed to follow (lark’s hands off strategy The new in the referendum with the umbrella committee headed by Claude Kyan He predicts Levesque’s defeat then even the break up of the PQ Subsequent to that, there will be a clear need for a strong, conservative opposition to the provincial Liberals The three day (Nov 30 Dec 2) conference at the Quebec Hilton at traded over 750 voting delegates from across the province Quebec Tories hadn’t had their annual’ conference for three years, but this time, with a Conservative government in power in Ottawa, there were a lot of well organized groups out to back their choice of successor to Koch LaSalle as the provincial leader Corridor (and pernod and pizza party) talk was quite a bit about patronage Many delegates were small businessmen or professionals with business interests.La Salle has made no secret that it’s now the time for Tories to get contracts, and he himself is Minister of Supply and Services, a department which is responsible for more small contracts than any other federal ministry LaSalle got warm applause at the conference when he told the delegates that the role of the government is to cooperate with private enterprise, and that “we as Quebecers now have the right to present ourselves.” In the electoral campaign he called for Quebecers to get on board the train while it was still in the station At the conference he emphasised even more the need “to get on the train, together, so that it ’s sure to stop again,” ( to pick up more passengers, one assumes ) Yet the great majority of contracts available in Quebec come from the provincial government Another of the main reasons so many Quebec Tories want to get involved is to show their distaste for what they see as big spending governments, whether it be the Parti Québécois or the federal Liberals prior to May 22 Quebec Tories want governments which will reduce taxes and the number of costly civil servants LaSalle and Heward Grafftey were the only two Conservatives elected in Quebec on May 22 Grafftey is now Minister of State for Science and Technology One of his ideas at the conference was to build provincial PC membership up to 80,000 At present the PC's only have 19,000.compared with the Liberal's 135,000 Mr Grafftey might have to use alchemy as well as science and technology to reach his target figure The Tories only attracted 14 per cent of the vote in Quebec* on May 22 Still, they did get 432,000 votes, not an utterly negligible number A Tory revival in Quebec is essential for the future of Clark and his party That’s why the Prime Minister, together with a team from Ottawa of 10 ministers.12 MPs and four senators, attended the conference This was basically to show the Tory government flag the wheeling and dealing to get (iuilbeault elected was left to Clark s Montreal lieutenants and Senator Lowell Murray Many of the delegates seemed to appreciate the federal government’s efforts.Flora and David Macdonald were particularly warmly received The conference was largely a masculine affair, but the slightly over 10 percent of the delegates who were women were impressed by Maureen McTeer and not least the respect she showed for older women and their points of view Clark 's French is visibly improving The delegates as a whole approved of this, as they do of the tact that Clark represents their ideal in being a self made man.who's worked his way to the top.while operating economically, on tight budgets The obvious comparison here is with Trudeau, both the man and his governments He’s respected as a Quebecer, but his departure is seen by many as the end of an era - and the opening up of opportunities Marcel Danis promised the delegates prior to his election that “we will be happy and proud of the number and quality of representatives we ll send to Ottawa in the next campaign A lot of effort and money went into the Quebec* City campaign of the establishment’s candidate.Guilbeault -right down to contradicting the Clark government's stated policy by the way in which even his social insurance number was given prominently in the copy of his curriculum vitae everyone received Danis won.however, on a kind of (’lark platform He didn't want strong, centralised direction of the party from Montreal (or Ottawa, we can be sure) He promised to open a regional centre of what he'd like to call the Parti Conservateur du Quebec in Quebec City, to cover the east of the province He insisted on decentralised structures He wants to provide the Quebec party with the “complete and total autonomy Quebecers require Mr Clark he declared, has shown “an unequivocal determination tc respect the legitimate rights of Quebecers,” and the best way, in Danis’ view, to do this is to have autonomous and strong bases from which the militants can operate The Quebec City conference was insistently federalist Disagreement was restrained, and largely over which w ere the best w ays for Quebec Tories to get better representation in Ottawa The way advocated by Ottawa and Montreal lost to what the outgoing Vice-President Anglophone.Roberta Swim, described as “the way Joe Clark made it to the top’’ - because he.like the vast majority of the delegates at the Quebec City conference “wants to see more power at local levels.” In his final appeal to delegates, in the small part of his concluding remarks that were in English.Marcel Danis appealed to “all Quebecers, whether by birth or choice." He felt “this beautiful country of Canada" is threatened He wanted together w ith Joe Clark to take a youthful approach and attract the youth of Quebec It will be far from easy, but the majority of the Conservative activists in Quebec City did agree with him They intend to get on that train Referendum debate participants: Confusing to outsiders MONTREAL (CP) The federalist battle for votes in (he Quebec referendum is being waged on several fronts from information booths to neighborhood discussion sessions and an expensive advertising campaign Rut for anyone unfamiliar with it all.it may be hard to pick out the players without a scorecard.The groups range from the powerful Quebec and federal Liberal parties, each with a highly successful electoral machine, to a flock of public interest associations that sprang up after the Parti Québécois victory shocked the country in November.1976.The largest non partisan group is the Quebec-Canada Movement, which claims about 140,000 members The movement put up federalist information booths at country fairs around Quebec last summer and next month Kudoes The District of Bedford Adult Education Service is due for a few kudoes this week if its recently completed literacy tutor training workshops are any indication of things to come.The workshops, which ran over a two-day period last week, were set up by Academic Co-ordinator Gerald Bleser and utilized the expertise of Literacy Training instructors Pat Gaul and Bill Webb in teaching about 23 town shippers how they could better aid some of their less fortunate fellows in bettering their communication skills.Such a program has been sorely needed for some time.While this is not to suggest that illi teracy is running rampant, it is a serious enough problem that it has been declared a priority for the eighties by the American Library Association and is so much a cause for concern in this province that the government is planning on subjecting humanities and English instruction to a close scrutiny in the very near future.Illiteracy, though a common problem, has suffered from a stigma for many years.People have often been unable to take advantage of similar programs because they felt that by-seeking help, they would be exposed to the ridicule of family and friends.Though the appli cations for help are kept in the strictest confidence.the reluctance is there.Statistics show illiteracy is common within a lower sector of economic income, but the fact of the matter is that it is no stranger to our university campuses either.Poor sentence construction, bad idea organization, simple bad spelling in term papers and the steady stream into college writing workshops stands as evidence to support this.Though the educational system should not bear the brunt of the blame for the current state of affairs, it is no less an accomplice to the crime.Crowded classrooms and the unwritten law of arbitrary promotions through the ranks would almost run the risk of being labelled as the proverbial “smoking gun” in other circumstances.Before we fingerprint the gun.however, the first paragraph of this editorial must be brought back to mind Obviously, someone is concerned about the

the Iranian situation will force the Carter administration to adopt a more pro Israel policy in the Middle East Israeli leaders have long been grumbling about what they perceive as Carter's policy tilt toward the Arab oil-producing nations at the expense of traditional U S support for Israel Some have gone so far as to accuse the president’s Polish born national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski.of being anti-Semitic - a charge he denies vehemently But now, according to cables between Jerusalem and Washington, the Israeli government sees the deadly chess game over the Tehran Embassy seizure as a golden opportunity to bolster Israel’s political and economic position “The Begin government apparently sees the Iranian crisis as an opportunity to consolidate its position on the West Bank.” said a recent secret message from the U S Embassy to Foggy Bottom From the reports.Israeli officials seem certain that “the Carter administration w ill not side w ith oil producing states, no matter what their position on the embassy takeover, until long after the hostages are released “ Jack Anderson The Israeli confidence in eventual U S acquiescence in the consolidation of Jewish settlements on the West Bank which the Carter administration has strongly opposed - may to some extent be offset by our diplomats’ irritation at the pragmatic way the Israelis have sought to capitalize on the Iranian crisis, sources told our reporter Ron McRae In fact, according to the secret cables.American Embassy officials in Jerusalem resent the treatment given the Tehran Embassy seizure in the Israeli press, and blame it for our troubles elsewhere in the Moslem world" Speculation in the Israeli press about possible joint U S -Israeli military action against Iran lent credence to Iranian charges that the U S and Israel planned the assault on the Grand Mosque (in Mecca) and probably helped provoke the mob attacks on the U S Embassy (in Pakistan),” one secret cable charges, adding bluntly “The Israeli government has done nothing to discourage these inflammatory stories “ The intelligence report noted that the Israeli government has broad powers of censorship, which it has used in the past, and might easily have clamped down on the press speculation about US.-Israeli military action.By tailing to scotch such rumors, the cables from our embassy in Jerusalem indicate, the Israeli government created an atmosphere of credibility for Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s false charges that the United States and Israel were responsible for the attack on the holy shrine in Mecca Khomeini’s wild allegation was.in fact, the real cause of the attack on our embassy-in Islamabad, the death of two Americans and the terrorization and evacuation of hundreds of US Embassy personnel and their families BIG OIL BLITZ: The oil companies are trying to justify their bloated profits to the exasperated American public with an une tuous Uriah Heep propaganda campaign When third quarter profits were reported in the billions of dollars.Big Oil's paid apologists humbly protested that the bonanza represented only a few pennies per gallon at the gas pumps They claimed that even these pitiably modest earnings would be plowed back into stockholder dividends and exploration for new petroleum What the oil slick propagandists failed to mention was that hundreds of thousands of the industry's petro dollars are being spent on a publicity campaign to discredit reporters who expose the facts about who’s really raking in the oil bonanza.For months.Mobil Oil has been buying ad space in major newspapers, assailing this column and others for telling the public about the company’s eye-popping profits.The double-page ads cost at least $12,500 a throw - almost enough to buy 12.500 gallons of gasoline at a Mobil station.Now there's a new gimmick the oil moguls have hit on in their counteroffensive against the press They’re pumping some of their oil booty into a tax-free outfit called the Media Institute, which is doggedly impugning the credibility of respected financial-page reporters and editors The institute’s director is Leonard Therberge.an ultra-conservative lobbyist whose previous venture was the misleadingly titled National Legal Center for the Public Interest One of the institute’s six trustees is Mobil's advertising wizard.Herbert Schmertz.who masterminded the Mobil ad campaign, and who’s now working for Ted Kennedy 's presidential campaign The Media Institute is busily peddling a prospectus asking for $1.000 contributions irom Big Business Its corporate angels already include Mobil.Gulf.Chevron, the American Medical Association.Pfizer, Coors.Procter & Gamble and the Mellon family As the institute brochure stresses, the contributions are all tax deductible !

paintbrushes and a fat chequebook Under paintbrush piracy, old freighters are sold to new owners after leaving for their destination While the ship is still at sea.a new name is painted on and a new flag is hoisted Its cargo is resold and unloaded at an illegal port Since the 1975-76 civil war.more that 50 lost freighters have been sighted off Lebanon’s 155-kilometre-long coast Samir Baroudi, a lawyer for several shipping insurance companies, says he knows of more than $150 million in illegally seized cargo that has been unloaded at illegal ports in Lebanon The ports and the piracy sprang up after the civil war because government authority was all but destroyed The port of Beirut, once the busiest in the Middle East, was practically paralysed because of disputes between Christian militia forces and Syrian peace keeping troops ( AN T COMPETE A Beirut banker said legitimate importers cannot compete with the paintbrush pirates a 26-inch West German color television set costs about $2.300

Yugoslavia on Aug 16.bound for Jidda, Saudi Arabia Instead of going to the Suez canal, the Betty stopped at Pilos island in Greece for repairs and fueling It stayed at Pilos until the end of August During that time.Pero sold the Betty to an other Cyprus based shipper It was renamed the Five Stars and given a Panamanian flag On Sept 3, the old owners telexed an Italian company that had chartered the ship to say that the F ive Stars had sailed from Pilos Sept 1, destined for Jidda Saudi authorities were told to expect it around Sept 14 But by Sept 4, the Five Stars was well on its way to one of 20 or so illegal ports in Lebanon BRIBES C REW The ports, usually ringed by barbed-wire, consist of a roughly built pier, a couple of rowboats, a crane and a few trucks Armed teenagers usually stand guard Shipping sources said the captain and his crew were bought off for $350,000 and the cargo cast iron, textiles, ceramic tiles, timber, scrub brushes and locks — was sold for half price.$3.5 million In mid-October Baroudi asked the Lebanese government to seize the ship, but the F ive Stars slipped out to sea A few days later, a ship named the Aires docked at Piraeus.Greece Inspectors dis covered traces of the name Betty on the bow.Closer examination disclosed the outlines of other names — Five Stars.Black Eagle and Malaga Officials in Piraeus arrested three Greeks, including the owner

concern of Quebec governments Traditionally, they have felt that improved highway construction and more driving courses for young drivers were suf ficient Hut this year the province was ready for SafeDriving Week, thanks to an aggressive campaign sponsored by the province’s three year old automobile insurance board The board is spending $800,000 on safe driving programs this year, including a TV advertising campaign, a travelling ex hibit on the dangers of reckless driving and a special symposium on high way safety management organized in conjunction with the University of Quebec The TV ads, which were also shown in drive in movie theatres all summer, were designed to shock and shock they did In one ad, a camera travels down a deserted highway, passing smashed cars, demolished motor cycles and crumpled children’s tricycles as the an nouncer details the grim statistics of 50,000 injuries and 1,500 deaths a year on Quebec highways A convoy of cars, trucks and buses can be seen ap proaching and as it arrives the word “alerte” appears on the screen and smashes as the sound of a collision is heard CTTIKS STATISTICS The second ad brings the viewer down the same aban doned road, lined with wheelchairs, orthopedic equipment and hundreds of crutches, as the announcer rattles off figures on high way accident victims The camera abruptly stops before a coffin and the voice says: “Fifteen hundred coffins Why?” In a brief this fall to a legislative committee studying proposed changes in the Highway Code, the board blamed most accidents on Quebecers atti tude to driving That attitude can be observed in full flower on what some call the longest dragstrip on the continent It’s Highway 20, the four lane highway which takes drivers from Montreal east to Quebec City and then to Kiviere du Loup and beyond The posted speed limit on this section of the Trans-Canada Highway is 100 kilometres an hour but it might as well be 100 miles an hour Cruising at 120 kilometres an hour, a motorist is sure to be passed, likely on the right.and if he looks closely it could be a limousine belonging to a Quebec cabinet minister BOASTS OF SPEEDING One opposition member of the national assembly has boasted of driving the 225 kilometres that separates Montreal and Quebec City in 90 minutes Tail gating.changing lanes without signalling and flashing one’s lights at so-called slow pokes on the road are familiar occurrences Quebec's highway safety record reflects these driving habits From 1967 to 1978 , 21.299 people were killed in accidents on Quebec’s roads, compared with 20,114 in Ontario This is remarkable, considering that Ontario has two million more inhabitants than Quebec Preliminary figures for traffic accidents in Montreal and Toronto in 1978 are even more startling In Montreal, 152 people were killed in traffic accidents while in Toronto.85 people lost their lives Gilles Saint-Amour, highway safety information officer for the insurance board, says the board is motivated by the need to save human lives but economics comes into it as well COSTS SUBSTANTIAL When a 25-year-old father of two is killed in a car accident.it means the board is committed to $300.000 in indemnities to the family over a lifetime If only three such lives are saved a year as a result of the program, the board will get back its investment, says Saint-Amour Considering the fact that 1,765 people died on the province’s roads in 1978, that accomplishment shouldn’t be too difficult.Saint-Amour says the major problem in Quebec is one of attitude “In other provinces, traffic moves at the speed limit and a guy who goes 10 miles an hour faster is îm mediately spotted “In Quebec a guv who travels at 9U kilometres an hour is considered a nuisance “ Saint-Amour admits that enforcement has been lax in the past but adds “Policemen can’t drive the public’s cars for them “Police could be more severe if they were supported by the public Police cars seldom patrol for speeders on Quebec high ways.But this too is changing Saint-Amour says that until several weeks ago.the provincial police did not use radar on Highway 20 at night because it was considered too dangerous Policemen trying to flag down speeding drivers at night were almost run down themselves Now police have begun chasing speeders in their cruisers instead of flagging them down Speed traps have been set up at night, especially on weekends, and during the first weekend of the new operation.5.000 speeding tickets were handed out The insurance board says that if these programs don’t work and the accident rate is not reduced.Quebecers can look forward to a hefty increase in the premiums they pay for the government insurance program B.C.'s new weapon Movies battle drunks v'J> V -s - y—- / / i ¦ ML-; / ; .5 * 4.• *

videotapes — are a new weapon in the B C government’s battle against the drinking driver After undergoing a breathanalysis test, an impaired driving suspect is invited into a little studio, where the camera records his efforts to walk in a straight line, touch his nose and perform other routine exercises.Later, in court, the judge is given an opportunity to look at the results as guidance in determining what sort of shape the suspect was in when he was nabbed B.C is currently the only province in Canada to allow' such tapes to be admitted as evidence, although the procedure is common in the United States.PROGRAM EXPANDED Law enforcement officials have greeted the program with rave reviews After a 10-month trial in the Okanagan community of Vernon, the procedure now has been expanded to six other centres Prince George.Saanich, (Tanbrook.Vancouver and the neighboring suburbs of Richmond and Burnaby.Hob Williamson, Vernon Crown counsel and a charter member of the program's fan club, says it was discovered by an RUMP officer visiting police in Washington state on another matter.Williamson’s suggestion of adopting the procedure as a pilot project in his area was enthusiastically received by the attorney-general’s ministry w hich has been waging a million-dollar war against drinking drivers in B.C for the last two years The results appeared to show that videotaping was a valuable weapon, both in saving court time and costs and in scaring potential drinking drivers into finding other ways to get home Among the 80 convictions there was a 40-per-cent drop in not guilty pleas, Williamson says, indicating that many people had second thoughts about contesting the charge in court after watching themselves on tape DRIVERS IMPRESSED “We did a survey on people after the project was finished and while we couldn't look into everyone’s head, many of them did say the tapes persuaded them to change their plea,” Williamson says And while a number said they thought videotaping stinks, a surprising percentage said it should be continued The project’s greatest effect, though, appeared to be on those offenders the police never caught Comparing the five peak months for impairment-driving arrests during the project and in the previous year, police found the number of charges laid had dropped considerably - to 11 from 35.Williamson says part of the credit for the project's success belongs to the local media, which made residents aware of the program One radio station even ran a jingle, composed by a police officer, which warned drivers to the tune of You Ought to Be in Pictures “People seemed to be a lot more careful knowing they could end up being filmed,” he says However, the videotaped evidence can be a double-edged sword.1980VALUE: PLYMOUTH OhMSOO lea

tell you about that little zone surrounding him when he drives He’s thinking about that zone, not sex or work or anything else ” He says a test in Germans five years ago showed that the chances of having an accident increased five times if the driver had left his home angry ac his w ife or children In an effort to keep drivers’ minds on the road, especial 1> when school's out during the summer, the ministry spt ids $100.000 between July 1 and Labor Day each year promoting safe driving habits The bulk of that money goes into radio ad SURGERY TAKtS YEARS TO COMPUTE EDMONTON « CP1 — The woman w as riding in the front passenger seat of the car when it collided with an oncoming vehicle in eastern Alberta She was wearing a lap seatbelt but it was done up loosely The force of the collision jackknifed her into the w indshield When Dr J I) Mac Alton first saw her four years ago.ophthalmic surgeons had removed an eye and the severe facial cuts had been stitched up and fractures set An abdominal injury from the loosely-worn seat belt had also been treated But her face was a mess.Alton, director of plastic surgery at the University of Alberta Hospital, is still seeing the woman, now aged 40.She had to return twice to have bits of the w indshield removed from her upper lip Splinters often penetrate deeply and don’t work their way to the surface until much later.Initially she spent a month in hospital having facial bone fractures set and recovering from other injuries Plastic surgeons generally wait a year for natural healing before beginning facial reconstruction After operations to rebuild the nose and graft skin she has generally recovered both physically and emotionally.XUUEPTS CHANGE "She has accepted her change of appearance very well,” says Alton, but adds: "There’s no doubt, however, that she doesn't look like she used to.” Alton sees about two traffic accident cases a week, ranging from simple fractures like broken jawbones to completely shattered faces.Most are passengers who have slammed into the windshield Drivers are usually stopped by the steering column but suffer massive chest injuries in the process .because every child has the right to smile 1979 International Nfear of the Child Unicef Canada © A large numbr are young Alton doesn’t know how many but says."You just have to look at who's having the accidents ” The young, especially women, have the toughest time adjusting to their looks in the wake of an accident, says Alton When the bandages come oft just after the accident the face is still swollen and the scars are livid "It's very difficult to make these people wait the year when maximum spontaneous recovery through nature takes place ” Patients or their parents have a misconception about plastic surgery , he says Not realizing the limits in the field, some come in w ith pictures expecting the likeness to be fully restored But despite the trauma of having to look into a mirror and see an unfamiliar face.Alton’s patients seem to ad just to their deformities, at least in public."It’s something you don't talk about,” he says "It's very rare we need to seek psychiatric help ” Where children and teenagers are involved, Alton may interview the parents and instruct them on the best ways to cope with the initial shock CRITIC XI TIMES "There are a couple of critical times The first is w hen they go to school You have to make them as presentable as possible.” The second is puberty, especially for girls, he says.It has to be explained, for instance, that nose reconstruction must wait until they are about 15 or 16 Despite the long-term nature of some facial reconstructions.the cost in Alberta seems surprisingly low Alton says doctors’ bills rarely exceed the fees laid out in the provincial medicare schedule because the work is not cosmetic.Medicare bills to rebuild the face of the woman who lost her eye came to $505 over four years.Alton’s work with accident victims has made him a firm believer in seatbelt use, through legislation if necessary, although he sees a trend to increased use by young people He remembers a recent visit by a plastic surgeon from New Zealand, a country which along with Australia passed compulsory seatbelt legislation eight years ago "Our wards used to be filled with facial injuries," he told Alton "Since the seat belt law came in we’ve hardly had enough patients to teach our young surgeons ” vertisements aimed at reaching the driver while he's behind the wheel How would you like to buy a piece of real estate six feet under”' one ad asks Another aims at the pocket book "Are you interested in sending your lawyer to Elor ida'*” XX till) SERMONS Uederberg says the ministry deliberately avoids messages that sound like Sunday sermons.con cent rat in g instead on a common sense approach “We deliberately avoid trying to tell people that they mustn’t do this or they can’t do that You can't legislate behavior, so we make an appeal to their common sense "But there are yo y os out there w ho are never going to listen ” The ministry also distributes a safe driving Uniklet "our bible” to everyone taking driver education courses and to anyone else who requests one About 300 Toronto high school students were asked recently whether the booklet covered everything they thought they should know atxiut safe driving "The kids wanted more on what to do in emergency situations, which indicates they’re not being taught that.” Uederberg says it’s an area that’s hard to cover and 1 don't know whether there’ll be any benefit, but were going to put it in “ Students aren’t the only ones who want to know more about how to handle emergency situations General Motors ot Uanada Ltd awarded a $28.500 research grant to the University o! Toronto this summer to investigate how drivers react in highway accident situations "The research is for more understanding of the factors that can influence the avoidance of highway ac cidents.says Dr Mounir Kama!, head of GM s e n g i n ee ring ni ec h a mes department In a telephone interview from G M's research laboratories in Detroit, Kamal said the university will try to develop a math ematical model representing the vehicle and the driver "which will allow us to in vest (gate driver actions under all kinds of cir cumstances " They're looking for an answer to one main question How can a driver's ability to avoid accidents be improved” 'Till speculating right now.because the research hasn’t Ihhmi completed yet, but it could turn up a number ot possibilities.’' Kamal says It may show that drivers have to In* trained at a higher level, that they need InMter training to respond to an emergency.” It also may show a need to either increase or decrease tin* si/e of highways or the width ot shoulders or i>omt the way to nt*eded change's in vehicles themselves "We ll have some answers m six months or a year But when you find answers, you always find new questions This research w ill go on for a long turn* Even if the occupants of this mangled vehicle survived, chances are complicated, plastic surgery and other medical treatment would affect them for years to come VOLARE, DODGE ASPEN mi in r ASPEN CITATION 34.IK) $5883.(8) $5961 (HI 60.20 STD 266.50 88 40 STD 398.65 8* 50 STD 193.40 54 30 STD.53.75 .50.20 STD 50.50 36.HO STD 37.60 STD STD 26.10 STD .53.75 38 50 $5883.00 $7015.15 Volaré and Aspen are 6-passenger family size with rugged 6-cylinder engine standard.Fairmont and Citation have standard 1-cylinder engine and seat only five.Compare for yourself!

news, politics, women’s work, changes in the family, women s health, as well as women s achievements in tht* arts and sports Women’s money, or lack of it, is a recurrent theme in the pages of the

Welfare Esther Shannon says, “For feminists the knowledge that women are “only a husband away from welfare’ is not new But judging from media and the general public’s surprised and appalled reaction to the report, feminists must have had a corner on this information ” Another subject of concern is women’s lack of knowledge of their own history The first issue of Upstream ran an article about

be ready for any furry intruders.Military ready for bears By LT.IAN McClLLOCH His name is Nanook In Inuit, it means "great white bear of the north”.He’s the largest meat-eating hunter walking the earth today and is not afraid of anything or anyone Nanook, however, may have met his match Sixteen armoured personnel carriers of the Royal Canadian Regiment will travel north to Southampton Island on a unique exercise labelled "Sovereign Viking "Polar bears present a dangerous problem,” says Capt John Ryan after a detailed briefing on the exercise “Southampton Island has the highest percentage of polar bears in the Canadian Arctic and seeing as we will be covering most of the island we re bound to run into at least one or two.” Polar bears live in the coastal areas of this island, their main source of their high-fat diet being the blubber of Arctic seals They spend most of their waking hours hunting food to fuel its 1.500 pound body and build up a thick layer of protective fat - more than three inches thick on back, buttocks and thighs to keep it warm in icy winds and water and to serve as sustenance during the long nights "Polar bears are curious and attracted by noise, so they’ll have an earful when we re motoring around up there.” Sgt John Cleveland says He joined the Polar Bear Watcher's Club while on an advanced winter warfare course "I've seen them come to the garbage dumps in Churchill during winter and stick their heads into piles of burning gar bage You could always tell where a polar hear had been if he appeared with a black head.” The polar bear has thick, oily white fur that sheds seawater easily and helps insulate the bear against the cold This ivory-white coat provides almost perfect camouflage, making it look like just another ridge or snowdrift against the ice Moreover, the bear knows that against the white background only its small black nose and eyes might be seen, so as it moves forward it often hides them with a paw or pushes a small clump of ice or snow ahead as a shield Once within range of its prey, it will spring up and hurtle through the air to land on the quarry "We re not taking chances when we camp for the night,” says Ryan.‘‘We intend to park our APC’s in a solid wall facing the wind which will act as a wind break, as well as securing one side of our perimeter against polar hears The pioneer section attached to the company will encircle the rest of the camp’s perimeter with tripflares which "hopefully will give early warning if one decides to amble into our tent lines.” “Well maintain two sentries armed with their FN rifles around the clock at night.’ says Jim Schlosser.the company sergeant major “However, each tour of duty will be a maximum of 30 minutes due to the ex tremely cold temperatures of arctic winter nights ” ANNUAL COTTON BALL Royal Canadian Legion Col J S Bourque Branch 10 470 Bowen S Sherbrooke Sat., Dec.8 - 9-1 p.m.with Roland Daigles Orchestra Adm Canned Food for making of

4 „ 4 o 1 * r < 1 890 death sentence took 3 weeks to carry out By BERNARD EPPS On Tuesday, November 18, 1890.in a house near Ayer’s Cliff.William Wallace Blanchard shot and fatally wounded C A Calkins According to the Stanstead Journal, the two men had been drinking together in Calkins’ house when Blanchard brought out his revolver, began fooling around with it and boasting of his prowess In those days, most men had firearms of one sort or another and most young men were tascinated by tales of the Wild West Calkins remonstrated with his guest They argued They scuffled When Mrs.Calkins came home some time later, she found her husband in his death agony.Blanchard was arrested that same evening by Constable Hiram Moe.brought to Sherbrooke, tried, found guilty, sentenced and finally hanged in the Sherbrooke Gaol The entire affair from scuffle to scaffold took little more than three weeks William Wallace Blanchard, despite his French name, was an American, born 31 years earlier at Reading.Massachusetts His parents were both dead but he had several brothers and sisters living and an estranged wife who resided at Evansville.Vermont None came to visit him in prison It had been some time since he had seen or heard from his w ife but he wrote to her from the Sherbrooke Gaol She answered (the mails moved faster then» and they were briefly reconciled His lawyer, a Mr M F Campbell, appealed the sentence The killing was neither premeditated nor intentional but folk were hanged sw iftly and surely in those days and the appeal was denied On the morning of December 11th.twenty-four hours before he was due to die.Blanchard received just two words from the authorities which put an rnd to all his hopes “No commutation The scaffold was erected on the edge of the courtyard It consisted of two squared timbers seven feet apart and fourteen feet high with a cross-member on top from which a pulley was suspended A weight of 334 pounds was placed atop the scaffold and held there by a quick-release mechanism The rope ran from this weight over the pulley and down to the neck of the condemned On signal, the weight was released and a soul snatched toward heaven to die more surely from a broken neck than from strangulation Death had not always been so swift The sentence in the English courts had for centuries been to hang by the neck until dead’ and victims more often than not dangled and twirled and struggled and kicked their lives away to the cheers of the spectators Sometimes they were cut down too soon In 1740.a man named Duell was hanged for rape in London, cut down after a time and carried to Surgeon’s Hall for dissection He was laid out.stripped, washed, and discovered to be still alive The surgeon was called and bled him The dead man’s hand jerked up with force enough to cut the surgeon’s lip and.w ithm a very short time, the corpse was sitting up in a chair.“Tuesday.” reported the Country Journal, “he was in good health in Newgate, eat his victuals heartily, and ask’d for his Mother Great number of People resort continually to see him .” He was transported For the crime of High Treason, culprits were sentenced to be hanged by the neck but not till they be dead, for they must be cut down alive; then their bowels must be taken out and burned before their faces, then their heads must be severed from their bodies, and their bodies severally divided into four quarters and these must be at the King s disposal.” No chance of recovery from that treatment Francis Townley was among those similarly butchered in 1748 and all the gruesome details were reported in the Gentleman’* Magazine of July 30th Imagine Squire Boggs reading this over his tea and crumpets “Mr Townley was cut dow n, his body «not being quite dead) being stripped and laid on the block, the hangman, with a cleaver, severed his head from his body, which were put into a coffin; then, taking out bowels and heart threw them into the fire When the last was put into the fire, the executioner cried out God Save King George’, at which the multitude of spectators gave a great shout ” The youngest victim of an executioner in England was probably John Bell, hanged at Maidstone.Kent, for stabbing another boy in 1831 He was just 13 years old The oldest may have been Lord Lovat who led his Scots into the Hail of English shot and shell at Culloden Moor For this he became the last person executed by an axe in England in 1747 He was 80 years old The first man hanged by the British in Cnada was convicted of stealing a watch at Kingston in 1778 He was later proved innocent The authorities were not discourager! The first man hanged in all Quebec was Jean Duval who plotted with three others to murder Samuel Champlain in the summer of 1808 Having done the deed, they were going to make off with a lortune in furs and escape with Basque fishermen Their plot was betrayed, the villains arrested and their leader Duval tried at the little outpost of Quebec1 He was found guilty of treason, hanged, strangled and beheaded in the presence of the entire company and then his head was stuck up on a pike as a warning to all Public executions were long con sidered necessary warnings for the common rabble but were in reality taken for free entertainment In 1773.Elizabeth Herring was hanged and burned at Tyburn for the murder of her husband “It was computed,” reported the \nnual Register of September 13th.that there were above 20,000 people to see this melancholy spectacle, many of whom were much hurt and some trodden to death in gratifying a bar barous curiosity.’’ Executions were more popular than executioners Jack Ketch, for his barbarity at the executions of William Lord Russel in 1883 and the Duke of Monmouth in 1685, was universally despised and lent his name to all hangmen For affronting the sheriffs of London, he was eventually kicked out of office and replaced by a butcher named Rose When John Thrift, the public hangman, died in 1752 - of natural causes - a mob attacked the funeral cortege and his successor in the trade a man named Tallis) had a hard job keeping the coffin from being over turned and poor Thrift tumbled in the dust Hangman s wages were traditionally 13* *d a shilling for the work and three halfpence for the rope - but there was never a shortage of applicants Something must have made up for the pay and public hatred W hen the post of Thief Hangman of England fell vacant in 1883.there were twelve hundred applications In 1885.Inouïs Riel was hanged in Regina and a man named Jack Hen derson asked for the job and got it He was offered $80 for the task but refused the money Riel, he said, had made him a prisoner in 1870 and the Metis had abused him in the second rebellion of 1885 He did the job for pleasure The hangman in 1890 was J R R Radcliffe He came to Sherbrooke from Toronto by train and was.according to I T nion des Cantons de l’Est, “a man in all the vigour ol his young, with an appearance of energy but in no way bullying lb* spoke oi his occupation with coolness and without boasting He told a reporter that nothing would make him happier than if poor Blanchard had been able to obtain a commutation In the Sherbrooke («aol.waiting to be hanged.Blanchard considered his soul for the first time in his miserable life and was baptised into the Catholic Church He claimed descent from Huguenots who fled to New England following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes which should have made him protestant but he wanted comfort not quibbling The Bishop of Sherbrooke personally came to the prison to give* him his first communion Blanchard even wrote a few in spirational lines as was common in those days to warn those heedless youths who might be following in his footsteps It was supposed that those on the point of death had insights denied the rest of us so poor Blanchard did his best “I have handled a plow.I have wielded a spade from the rising of the sun to the summit of the day But each evening I ran to town in search of pleasure I w as always ready for mirth and merrymaking “Seeing me leave, my mother used to say ‘Come home early tonight, my dear child Don’t spend all your money on gambling and drinking Come home early tonight, my dear child “One evening when I left the house, my poor mother was ill In the prey of fever in sickness and pain, she said to me: ‘My dear, take the advice I give you I may never say it again “When I returned from my evening of pleasure and merrymaking I discovered that my poor mother was dead A cold shiver ran up my ‘¦«pine when I thought of her last words “To all young people, receive this word of advice, take care of your mother and father The love of a good mother can never be forgotten When she is dead, you have lost your best friend Don’t spend all your money gambling and drinking Accept this lesson which was a mother’s last prayei ‘Come home early tonight, my dear child’ Oil the night before his execution, Blanchard slept for two hours and then celebrated mass at 6 30 in the corridor outside the condemned cells At eight, he had a light breakfast and smoked two cigarettes At 8:55, the black flag w as raised above the prison to signal an execution in progress and the great hell of the cathedral began to knell Radcliffe.the hangman, appeared promptly at 9 and tied the prisoners hands behind his back r ifficials, priests and the condemned proceeded slow ly to the scaffold Blanchard mounted to his place and turned for a last word “Gentlemen." he said.“I thank you all for your kindness I hope to meet you in the other world Goodbye.Radcliffe adjusted the noose around his victim s nock and covered his face with a black hood to spare priests and witnesses the sight of dying grimaces At six minutes past nine, at a signal from Sheriff Webb, the weight plum meted down and Blanchard was snatched up He kicked and s* uggled and the doctors did not pronounce him dead until seventeen minutes had passed An autopsy however, revealed his neck had been snapped at the first shock J R Radcliffe.public hangman, follower of a long tradition and proud of his trade, packed his bags and went back to the railway station He had to be in Welland.Ontario, to hang a man named Day for throwing his wife over Niagara Falls The following Friday, December 19th he d have to be back in Sherbrooke, however, to hang Remi Lamontagne for the brutal his brother-in-law.He was a very busy man victims more often than not dangled and twirled and struggled and kicked their lives away to the cheers of the spectators —____tel iwcara THURS DEC 6 1979 — u
