Sherbrooke municipal police department will not respond to calls normally handled by the striking Quebec Police Force A spokesman for the force said this morning that Sherbrooke police are in complete sympathy with the strikers’ demands for two man patrols around the clock and will respond only to emergency calls where life is threatened They are offering no security recommendations to banks and other financial institutions in outlying areas which are without police protection this morning By helping as little as possible, the spokesman said, Sherbrooke police will help press for their comrades’ demands Banks in surrounding municipalities contacted this morning said they would conduct business as normal With Easter weekend approaching.banks will have extra cash reserves making the police strike more threatening than normal Many banks in villages and towns without a municipal police force have adopted a locked-door policy to guard against armed robberies since the 4,200-member Quebec provincial police force walked off the job Wednesday.“Only customers that are known to bank personnel or those who can identify themselves will be allowed to enter a bank.” said a security officer for the Bank Canadian National Some bank officials said they are considering hiring armed guards in the event of a prolonged strike PCs kick off campaign return to work Provincial policemen across Quebec walked off the job early Wednesday, leaving rural area** and small towns with minimal police protection They are protesting the use of one man patrol cars A spokesman for the Sherbrooke detachment says no calls will be answered today.The man.a self-described “functionaire”, said there are no plans for the policemen to return to work today but refused to give further details Accompanied by his provincial police bodyguard, Bedard told reporters here there will be no negotiations with policemen unless they return to work.Asked if the officers would be taken to court for their illegal strike, the minister said it was not the time “to pour oil on the fire.’’ Bedard described as “more than reasonable” the government’s latest offer to eliminate one-man car patrols at night but maintain some during daylight hours However, a spokesman for the Quebec Provincial Policemen's Association said: ‘We will not accept anything less than two-man patrol cars 24 hours a day ” The officers say one-man patrols are dangerous, citing the case of a 23-year-old provincial policeman, on patrol by himself, who was killed while investigating a robbery last w eek Bedard said the govern ment’s offer of two-man patrol cars during the night would cost at least $4 million and mean the hiring of up to 300 new policemen The minister added that money was not the issue at stake but rather the principle that police strikes are illegal He said that in Ontario, there are one-man patrol cars except in special circumstances Bedard said Premier Rene Levesque agrees with his position Asked if he would call in the army.Bedard said such action is not necessary but did not rule out the possiblity.The minister said there is no danger to public security because municipal police and senior provincial police officers are on the job providing basic services Earlier Wednesday, provincial policemen met at temporary strike headquarters in Drum- mond ville.55 miles east of Montreal, to await the government's reply to their de mands The officers voted 639-602 against the government’s latest offer to provide two-man patrol cars during night hours Quebec's 107 provincial police offices were closed Wednesday and spokesmen say all calls are being for warded to nine regional headquarters staffed by senior officers who are not part of the policemen’s association A police spokesman said there has not been an increase in the crime rate or in the number of emergency calls since the walkout began.?A 3 men held after slaying JULIETTE.Que (UP) Three men were held Wednesday on coroner’s warrants pending an inquest April 22 into the slaying last week of a Quebec* provincial police offices, a police spokesman said The spokesman said a police tracking dog led searchers to a chalet where two men.Reginald Berger and Thomas Guay, were found The chalet is about a mile south of where 23-year-old constable Robert Brabant was found shot to death in Ste Emilie de L’Energie.60 miles north of Montreal A third man.Roger Duhamel is also being held on a coroner’s warrant, police said He had been arrested last week Refugees being aided TERREBONNE, Que (CP) — The Progressive Conservative party officially kicked off its campaign Wednesday for six federal byelections to be held May 24 by calling itself “the only truly national party” in Canada “It is interesting to note that only the Progressive Conservative party was capable in the last eleclion to elect MPs in all the provinces of the country.” party leader Joe Clark said at a nominating meeting in Terrebonne riding attended by about 600 persons.“The Liberals are cer-not able to say that,” said The Liberals are represented in Parliament by MPs from all provinces except Alberta.To demonstrate the geo-graphic diversity of the

provinces sitting in the audience and Roch LaSalle, MP for the Quebec riding of Joliette, who had addressed the standing-room audience before him The party’s other three Quebec MPs were absent Clark emphasized that the byelections, called Tuesday by Prime Minister Trudeau, will not be a mini-referendum on Quebec in dependence although five of the contests will be in the province.The sixth is in the Prince Edward Island riding of Malpeque.Prime Minister Trudeau had suggested the Quebec byelections could become a mini-referendum on separatism but later retracted the statement.In condemning Liberal dairy policies and the recent federal budget.Clark said that the country is fed up with an ineffective administration in Ottawa He said Canadians had showed their dissatisfaction in three byelections held since the last tederal election by electing Conservatives Hatley Township home is levelled by blaze NORTH HATLEY ( DS) — The house of Rosaire Bedard, on Rte 143 highway in Hatley Township, was destroyed by fire last night A spokesman for the North Hatley Volunteer Fire Department said wind and cold temperatures hampered the 14 man crew that fought the blaze for close to three hours.Fire Chief Allan Sharman said the strike by the Quebec Police Force was not a factor in the loss of the house “It didn't really hurt, but it didn’t really help either.” He said firemen directed traffic around the burning house, a job usually carried out by the QPF.One truck was used to fight the fire.LOUISVILLE.Ky » tt» CAT^LOGlf ?•mat lia •»* < T« ks bright Peter Carpentieri was the season

shuns like the plague We call it the give-away double If West had just passed four hearts, two or three things might have happened East might have decided to sacrifice at four spades.Four spades doubled would have been no great loss It would only be down one The second thing is that South would play four hearts and go down several tricks He would ruff the spade, lead a trump to dummy’s king and then play a second trump, whereupon West would take his ace and jack of trumps and lead a spade.South would be down to one trump so West would have control of the hand The third possibility is that after playing one trump South would see that he could be sure of his contract by the simple expedient of playing clubs until someone ruffed one This is what happened after the double South did play clubs after one trump lead West ruffed the third club and led a second spade South ruffed and led a fourth club West could take two more trumps, but this allowed South to discard two of dummy’s diamonds on long clubs and get away without the loss of a diamond trick What is the significance of South’s jump to four hearts?South opens one heart His partner responds two clubs and South jumps to four hearts The bid says, “Partner my hearts are solid, but my high-card strength is minimal.” (For a copy of JACOBY MODERN, send $1 to “Win at Bridge." c/o this newspaper, P O Box 489.Radio City

family were visitors of Mr and Mrs Justin Lowry, when Stephanie returned home, after being their guest.Investigations showed that the sender had no criminal record but the receiver in Europe had been involved with a drug pusher in Nova Scotia Surveillance at the Halifax airport noted two people arriving from Amsterdam and meeting the original money sender and an associate Further surveillance over four days resulted in the seizure of 58 pounds of hashish oil and several arrests SPOTTED BV FISHERMAN In another recent case, a fisherman called to say that suspicious persons were seen on a remote area of shoreline An investigation resulted in the seizure of 422 pounds of hashish tied to a well-known drug runner in British Columbia Nova Scotia’s ice free waters, sheltered coast and sparsely populated rural areas make it the year round eastern gateway for the importation of illegal drugs.Warren said And because the other Atlantic provinces share a similar geography, drugs are probably being brought in there as well, he said, noting that in 1974 the RCMP seized two tons of marijuana on the coast of Newfoundland “W'e’re dealing with highly organized groups, well financed, mobile by water, air and land and meticulous in their preparation The RCMP’s section on drug importation here was formed last May when the drug problem reached alarming proportions CONTRACTS WORLDWIDE The drug section maintains liaison with detachments throughout the region and the rest of the country and enforcement agencies throughout the world through the RCMP drug enforcement branch in Ottawa Nova Scotia’s south shore and the Halifax waterfront have been identified as prime areas for the landing of drugs, mainly hashish oil.hashish and marijuana with cocaine rapidly on the increase The largest seizures have been on the province’s scenic south shore, the drugs being brought in by sea on pleasure craft and fishing vessels Local boats often rendezvous outside the 12-mile limit and carry the drugs to shore Warren said importers throughout Canada use the Halifax waterfront where drugs are secreted in container ships, freighters and cars “It’s like the old rumrunning days but we're better off because many fishermen condoned that but they’re down on drugs ” Tips from members of yacht clubs and fishermen have resulted in some of the largest seizures, he said Airborne shipments have been intercepted when local residents reported aircraft landing at night and being met by vehicles BIG HAUL SEIZED A year ago the RCMP seized 58 pounds of hashish oil with a street value of almost $1 million and arrested six persons The drugs, concealed in false compartments in luggage, were brought by ship from Greece via the Netherlands In another case.RCMP were told that a drop had been made from an aircraft at an isolated swamp Police arrested several people and seized 40 pounds of hashish But most of the seizures result from information gleaned by the force’s drug men working the streets often through paid informers Warren said the force gets only a fraction of the drugs on the street "Were making some inroads but we have a long way to go If we solved the drug problem we’d solve as much as 50 per cent of our crime because much of it is drug-related ” BEEKEEPER SUPPLIES PACKAGE BEES (Order early for Spring 1977 delivery) QUEENS STRAPPS HONEY PRODUCTS INC.Box 641, Sutton

defines itself as bilingual, this does not prevent the Western provinces, Ontario, and the Maritimes from being solidly English-speaking (with the single exception of New Brunswick) Quebec is therefore not obliged to be bilingual because it is part of Canada In Quebec, the dedication of French as the official language implies that it is truly the language common to all Quebecers The various minorities will, however, always retain their place in Quebec This principle is fully discussed in ^the second chapter of this "document.In the fourth chapter, the measures which the State of Quebec intends to take to help these minorities retain the vitality of their culture are discussed The Charter grants to the English minority advantages which are evidence of the respect and justice Quebec intends to accord to it.It should be stressed once again that if English-speaking Quebecers and members of other minority groups are assured of the respect of the French-speaking majority, it is to be hoped that they will consider themselves full-fledged Quebecers and accept their responsibilities in the development of Quebec culture and in the enrichment of Quebec’s language And this language must be French, the language of our society since its beginnings, the language of the majority, the only official language, the language of all the acts of public life To make this principle conform to reality, the Charter will contain a declaration of the fundamental rights of all Quebecers in matters of language.With regard to language, it will complement the rights already recognized for individuals by the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms For the first time in Quebec, there will be a law which proclaims that every Quebecer has the right to work in French, to receive his education in French, to J>e informed and served in ^French, to express himself in French in any deliberative assembly, and to require that the public administration, health services and social services, professional corporations, employees’ associations, and various enterprises communicate with him in French.Although short (only five sections), this declaration will clearly affirm both the primacy and the authentically official character of French throughout Quebec It will open the way to many changes which will affect in particular three major sectors or aspects of Quebec life: all bodies making up the public administration, economic life and the world of work, and Quebec’s image *************** The Fench Language in the Public Administration The state of Quebec will have a monumental task in implementing the Charter of the French language The various departments will have to make a considerable contribution Indeed, the whole government apparatus, the entire public administration will be involved In addition to the government itself, public corporations, commissions, offices, boards answerable to the government, municipalities and school boards, which can rightly be said to form part of the state since they constitute its local or regional democratic components, all must collaborate to the utmost The new responsibilities that the Charter is entrusting to the administration are therefore numerous It is essential that this be so If the intentions of the Charter are to have a decisive effect on Quebec society, it is first of all up to all the public bodies to grasp these intentions, and to express them in concrete actions in daily life The efforts of the public administration to give French a new- status throughout the economy and society will have a very great exemplary effect The prime function of the state is to legislate, to enforce the law, and to create courts to interpret it It is essential that, in these different domains, the Province of Quebec first set an example of francization It is for this reason that from now on, bills will be passed and assented to in French only This will also apply to judgments handed down in Quebec by the courts and other judicial bodies; only the French text will be official.In order to ensure that all citizens know their rights and obligations, the state will publish a translation of the statutes without delay and those brought before the courts will be able to obtain a translation of judgments affecting them Administrative documents, instead of being bilingual, will now be issued in French only However, individuals will have the right to address the state and receive a reply in another language.Some departments and agencies have already begun to put this policy into effect, but from now on it will be the general rule for the public administration of Quebec.There will be some ex-ceptions, notably publications concerning the health or the safety of citizens, as well as publications addressed to tourists or foreigners The Charter will impose other specific obligations regarding the use of language on all agencies of the public administration Their names and addresses will henceforth be expressed solely in French Their contracts will also have to be written in French Units of the public administration w ill communicate in French Agendas and minutes of deliberative assemblies will be written in the official language No change of such scope can be undertaken immediately.especially in the case of municipalities and school boards where English-speaking people predominate For this reason the Charter will provide that these bodies must adopt a francization program similar to that adopted by firms, which will enable them to adjust gradually, within six years, to the situation prevailing in the other agencies of the public administration It must also be stressed that these provisions will not apply to teaching institutions (schools, colleges or universities), or to health services or social services, since these institutions do not form part of the public administration The preceding list scarcely enables one to grasp the extent of the changes which the French Charter will make in Quebec It is necessary to go that far As long as the public administration remains officially bilingual, the insertion of French into social life may remain for a long time a pious wish.The wish becomes serious when the public sector puts all its weight into the scale in favour of French To ensure this, the authority of the Office de la langue française (which replaces the present Regie de la langue française) will henceforth extend not only to private undertakings but to the whole of the public administration In particular, the office will have the power to impose a francization program on any governmental, municipal, school or social body which may require it in order to comply with the requirements of the Charter ?*?*?The French Language in Business *?The economy is a complex world where the destiny of the French language in Quebec is daily at stake.At present, in many business firms, contact with the English language, written or spoken, is obligatory.In the present circumstances, a great many workers must know a certain amount of English terminology if they wish to understand instruction manuals, catalogues, and directions or indications written on machines In a good number of firms, a worker will never be promoted to foreman unless he has a fair mastery of spoken English, since most of his superiors express themselves in English.This is true, to perhaps an even greater extent, for most office workers, particularly in the Montreal region The higher one goes in the business hierarchy, the greater importance written and spoken English assumes in communication The administration and senior management of commercial, financial and industrial enterprises are so immersed in an English atmosphere that a French-speaking Quebecer who does not fall into line has the greatest difficulty in acquiring status or making a career at this level Even when French-speaking personnel use their own language it is often filled with English expressions since the vocabulary of work is all too frequently English It is not to be wondered at that so many workers, foremen, office clerks, engineers and senior management staff cannot express their working life in their own language if they are French speaking, even though they may speak French together from time to time The Charter will grant every Quebecer as a general rule the right to work in French How can this be achieved0 Some time ago, after much consultation with the business world, the Regie de la langue française began francization programs taking into account the various factors which might accelerate or delay the different stages of introducing the use of French into business firms.The experience of the Regie and the firm intention of the government to continue and speed up this program in business firms make it possible to incorporate better defined measures into the Charter.With regard to this point, the Charter makes up for what is lacking in Bill 22: clear objectives, explicit deadlines, and penalties for offenders.First of all, the francization of businesses will not be optional; it will be obligatory for all firms with 50 or more employees It must be carried out at such a rate as to ensure that by 1983, all such firms have obtained their francization certificates This is a major task; it will require the full participation of business firms, decisive action on the ^uri of the Office de la langue française, and the collaboration of all bodies of the public administration which have relations with private firms With exceptions, the Charter will affect only business firms with 50 employees or more.The reasons for this are sufficiently obvious Firstly, these firms employ some two-thirds of the Quebec labor force.Their francization will therefore constitute the most important and consequential element in the evolution of Quebec’s economy and the working life of most Quebecers Secondly, it is in these firms that access to better positions is the most difficult for French-speaking Quebecers Thirdly, they are far more likely than smaller firms to have the financial and human resources necessary for implementing effective francization programs It should be stated again that the great majority of firms with fewer than 50 employees are French-language firms, and do not need a francization program Many others, especially among the smallest, employ only French speaking personnel There is no question of preventing these employees from working together in their own language, provided it is understood that they must serve their French customers in French The Charter requires that firms with more than fifty employees prepare a francization program with the help of the Office de la langue française, to be approved by that office.This program has the following objectives: Movie “It’s a Wonderful Life 12:00 a.m.5) Movie “Clambake” 12) Movie “Hotel” 12:30 a.m.8) ABC News 5:00 a.m.8» PTL

the descriptions, in an article written for the March edition of the Liberal journal Dialogue, have been turned against the government party.For instance, the article says one difference between members of the two parties is this: “Conservatives study the financial pages of the newspaper Liberals put them in the bottom of the bird cage” That statement prompted opposition wags to suggest that it is no wonder the economy is faltering.Another difference: “Conservative boys date Liberal girls.They plan to marry Conservative girls, but feel they’re entitled to a little fun first.” NOT AMUSED Advocates of women’s rights are not amused.Kay MacPherson, president of the national action committee on the status of women, fumed Monday that it is an example of the way women remain the butt of discriminatory jokes In the Liberal magazine, the list of differences between Conservatives and Liberals also include the following: “Liberals give their worn-out clothes to those less fortunate.Conservatives wear theirs “Conservatives employ exterminators Liberals step on bugs demonstrated Tuesday that he has developed the art of the ambiguous response in the proud tradition of former Liberal minister Paul Martin.To a question about the public service by Conservative MP Donald Munro ( Esquimalt-Saanich ), he replied: “I’m not sure what he means, but I’m sure the answer might be no.” Give again Support RED CROSS 6) To Be Announced 8) Laveme & Shirley Birthday Special 12) Waltons 8:30 p.m.3) Busting Loose 8) Baseball 9:00 p.m.3) TV Critics Circle Awards 5) Movie “Breezy”

(Continued from Faite 11) Firms doing business outside Quebec will be allowed to have their firm name in another language, but will be able to use this version only outside the province On labels.and in catalogues, folders, brochures and notices accompanying products, French must stand out or at least figure no less prominently than any other language Any person may require that all documents used in business and trade, such as order forms, bills, receipts and acquittances, leases, contracts predetermined by one party, insurance contracts, job application forms, menus |nd wine lists be drawn up in Yench.The Office de la langue française will try to francize trademarks governed by federal statutes through collaboration with business firms The Language of Instruction ?There has been education in French in Quebec since the 17th century There has been education in English since the last third of the 18th century, so it can claim to have a tradition rooted in our history.English schools have a large staff and considerable resources There can be no question of abolishing English education nor of rejecting the cultural tradition which has inspired it until this day.If it is fitting to guarantee the English minority in Quebec access to English school, it is legitimate to make sure that persons who come to settle in Quebec in the future send their children to French school.In other words, the English school, which forms a special system granted to the present minority in Quebec, must cease being an assimilating force and must then be reserved to those for whom it was created If the law is not to have a retroactive character, it must nevertheless protect the future The provisions of the Charter will be drawn up so as to attain this double objective - to open the English schools to all those who now live in Quebec and whose parents, because of their education, form part of the English-speaking community, as well as to their descendants and to direct all other children to the French school, whether they already form part of the French-speaking community or whether they settle here in the future To this end, the Charter provides that in Quebec instruction will be in French in kindergartens and elementary and secondary schools in the public system or in the subsidized private sector, but that the following many be admitted to English schools : (a) Any child one of whose parents has attended English elementary school in Quebec; (b) Any child who is already receiving in- struction in English, and his younger brothers and sisters ; (c) Any child one of whose parents attended English elementary school outside Quebec, provided that the parent is domiciled in Quebec at the time the Charter is adopted In order to encourage to the fullest extent enrollment in French schools, provision will be made to the effect that those who choose a French school even though they are permitted to attend an English school will not affect the rights of their descendants.Finally, in order not to interfere with the mobility of workers and recruiting for business firms, English schools will be open to those whose parents are residing temporarily in Quebec, provided that their stay is of limited duration The criterion for determining the right of access to instruction in English was one of the most disputed aspects of Bill 22, so it requires detailed explanation The problem is to find a chtenon that is valid and quite easily applied to designate those who, if they expressly wish it, may enroll their children in the English schools The one which comes most naturally to mind is obviously the child's native language It must be acknowledged, however, that this criterion poses serious problems There is no objective and valid means of determining a child's native language, that is, of knowing what language he learned first and still knows The language tests used under Bill 22 were not in tended for this purpose, they served to measure a child's capacity to receive instruction in English, in dependently of his native language Actually the only way to determine a child's native language would be through a solemn or sworn declaration by his parents.Unfortunately, this method is open to deceit and to false declarations Other criteria have been suggested For example, a decision could be based on the language of the registers of civil status or of the population registers These criteria, however, are very arbitrary and have nothing to do with education itself and give only feeble indications of the cultural climate of the family in which the child grew up.the language spoken in the home, and the language chosen by the child himself Recourse could be had to these somewhat indirect criteria in doubtful cases, but their use for establishing the right of admission to school cannot really be rationally justified Reflection and investigation have led to the selection of a new criterion which has the advantage of being related to the school system Parents who studied in English schools in Quebec can legitimately be thought to belong to the linguistic community which created and maintained this sytem of instruction.These parents are in a way the heirs to the English schools It is natural, then, if they wish to do so.that they be able to enroll their children in these schools Attendance in an English primary school in Quebec by one parent will therefore be the basic criterion in the future for allowing children to attend English schools However, there must be a transition stage For this reason, the Charter will include two more criteria of a temporary nature intended to take the present situation into account The purpose of the first will be to preserve the integrity of families having at least one child already receiving in struction in English To avoid dividing these families.the younger brothers and sisters will be permitted to attend English schools The second concerns people who clearly belong to the English-speaking culture, having received their primary school education in English outside of Quebec When these people settled here, they had the right to enroll their children in English schools so they could be taught within the same culture It seems fair that they should retain this right As for those who come to settle in Quebec after the adoption of the Charter, wherever they come from and whatever their native tongue they will have to send their children to French schools.The Charter will stipulate that students who go to English schools must pass a written and oral examination in French before the end of high school Since Quebec will be a French society, it is reasonable for every Quebec school to ensure that all its students are capable of playing an active role in the development of Quebec This requirement will also enable those who come from the English system to enroll more easily in French language colleges and universities if, as it is hoped, they show a desire to do With respect to the public school svstem.Bill 22 J FERMBEC INC Your New John Deere Dealer for the Sherbrooke Area Y £ Lawn Mowers Lawn & Garden Tractors ROTO TILLERS 100 HP John Deere 4230

Eskimo and Indians, whose ancestors lived there hun dreds of years ago Their languages and traditions are worthy of our respect and require special protect ion In this regard, the Charter maintains the status of New Quebec provided for in Bill 22 but extends to all the Indians of Quebec the right to receive instruction in their own language if the> wish it If they do not.the general provisions of the Act will apply Before dealing with the means by which the Charter will he implemented, a few words must lx* said about the effect of the new law on the position of persons whose mother tongue is not French The Charter was freely drawn up with the object of promoting the rights of the French language while not depriving individuals of the chance of using the language of their choice in their daily lives In other words, although the Charter assures French speaking citizens of the right to use French, it does not prevent others from using their own language, except in specific sectors as defined bv the Charter For example, the ('barter will stipulate that legally incorporated bodies must use French in pleading before the courts This can be explained by the fact that corporations, which are legal entities created by the law, are only able to plead their case through a lawyer In their case.then, there is no reason to make an exception to general rule that French must be used before the courts, particularly so since as often as not the opposing party will be French speaking But w hen individuals wish to address themselves to the courts in order to have their rights recognized or protected, they must lx* allowed to use English if this is the language with which they art* most familiar The same is true of communication with the administration Individuals will continue to have the right to address the ad ministration in English and to receive a reply in that language but in the case of corporations the situation will be different As fran-cization programs are put into effect, all communications will be made in French It will be somewhat the same with respect to contracts: In the private sector, the contracting parties will lx* free to use the language of their choice, but contracts with the public administration will have to be drafted in French Moreover, in certain special contracts, such as those predetermined by one party and those which contain printed clauses, any party will be able to require that the contract be drawn up in French The same formula has been used in relations between individuals and health services, social services, professional corporations, unions, and firms with which they do business Any Quebecer will have the right to demand that French be used, but nothing prevents the use of another language when it suits the interested parties This manner of proceeding will enable the French speaking majority to be certain that French will be used whenever one of its members is involved, while allowing the cultural minorities the opportunity of using their own language in the greater part of their affairs ?The Institutions Responsible for Applying the C harter Responsibility for ap plying the act will be entrusted to different bodies Firstly, the Charter will create a Conseil consultatif de la langue française which will be responsible for studying any questions related to the situation of the French language in Quebec The conseil will be an agency for reflection and research and will have the task of informing not only the government and official institutions, but also the entire Quebec population on the present state and the future of the French language in the country The Regie de la langue française, which was created by Bill 22, will be maintained in its functions, except with respect to investigations It will revert to its former name, which suits its function and French terminology better (Continued on Page 14) EASTER DANCE Bury Town Hall Saturday.April 9 Music by THE

the Minister of Lands and Forests, this agency is replaced by the Commission de la toponymie, attached to the Office de la langue française *?*?*?Adoption of the Charter ?**?*?*?This then constitutes the broad outline of the Quebec Charter of the French Language which the government will soon submit to the National Assembly Much effort has been put into presenting an act which both coherent and con- ts sistent with the Quebec context It is a well balanced law which will establish the rights of the French language without dealing unjustly with non French speaking Quebecers This Charter will be submitted to the public for discussion There is no doubt that after representations have been made to the parliamentary committee which will be set up for this purpose, improvements will continue to be made to the Charter so that it will truly fulfill the objectives for which it was designed The government, for its part, will welcome this discussion with an open mind ft ?*?*?***?Toward Concerted Action ?*?***** No clear headed person today would dream of denying that from now on the French language and culture will need a coherent regulating statute to ensure their protection and full expansion in Quebec Having come to this conviction, Quebecers would be deceiving themselves greatly if they imagined that the force of a restrictive law would in itself suffice to redress a situation which had been degenerating for a long time, in varying and unequal ways according to individuals, families and places of work No law could ever cover all the com plexities of a particular local or individual situation Daily life in Quebec is constituted of a contrasting mosaic of situations to which the spirit of the Charter is adapted This flexible but efficient adaptation can only be ac complished by the concerted efforts of a popular w ill, very much aware of the issue at stake, and by the necessary’ co-operation brought about by the wise judgment of each citizen who is confronted with the particular features of the situations These features have for a long time supplied food for dialogues of the deaf, where optimists and pessimists confronted each other in interminable and sterile discussions to find out whether French was gaining ground or losing it A citizen of Quebec City, or more so.a resident of Beauce County, a region that is practically 100 per cent French-speaking, is infinitely less aware of the threat of assimilation than a French speaking Montrealer who every year watches his majority eroding through the combined effect of its lower birth rate and the assimilation of new Quebecers into the English speaking minority These variations in the nature of situations are also seen at work and in the family A journalist or a professor of literature or social studies might pursue a fruitful career in spite of his French unilingualism On the other hand, a modest hotel or office employee, a typist for instance, would not become a personnel director or an executive secretary without giving proof of a perfect mastery of English One Quebec family could appear perfectly homogeneous on the cultural level, owing to the language spoken by the father and mother, the neighbouring school and the life of their district Another family, however, might show differences owing to the mixture of languages spoken by the parents, to the children’s friends or to the sector where they live, which might un consciously encourage anglicization of the children The law will not govern all the details of this shifting reality; only the persevering will of individuals and groups, can complement such a law and mark daily life in Quebec by a concerted movement sufficiently flexible to adapt its means of action to events and to persons For example, one family might choose to regulate the watching of English or American cable television in order to counter the anglicization resulting from immersion of children in mainly English-speaking area; in another perfectly homogeneous family, such regulations would be un necessary.In a sense, legislation is limited to words It is up to individuals to give it its full force A person who is rigorous, vigilant and demandiiâg in regard to the language of institutions must show himself to be un derstanding, tolerant and flexible when it comes to persons ; he must realize that any general correction of the linguistic situation in Quebec is a matter of time and patience Just as passivity and abdication are excluded from this vast popular concerted effort, so quarrelsome and arrogant intransigence are to be proscribed an an unacceptable form of intolerance in a democratic and friendly state ?*?**?* Public Bodies ?*?*?* At the moment when, with ardour and difficulty, enthusiasm and anxiety, Quebec is attempting to define a new future in matters of language, it is basic that all public bodies affirm their agreement on the primary aspects of this new future The Administration must show the same political will The public bodies business firms, unions, intermediary bodies by the importance of their action within the community, bear special responsibility in this respect We propose, through examples which appear significant, to illustrate how organizations, particularly the public administration, can participate in correcting the language situation in Quebec *************** Education in the Linguistic Plan *************** First, we must mention the responsibility of the Department of Education, the school boards, the CEGEPs.the various manpower training centres, and the universities To begin with the most obvious tasks.the educational establishments must ensure the natural and progressive development of the language of every child, from kindergarten to university The teaching of every subject should be an occasion for.and a means of.perfecting the use of the French language, so that every person reaches the point of expressing himself and communicating in a personal and effective manner, and experiences the satisfaction of doing something well mastering it The teaching of the technical aspects of the language is an indispensable means to awareness of the technique concealed behind acts as simple and natural as speaking, writing, listening and reading In educational establishments.it is a duty to ensure that techniques, sciences, trades and professions are mastered in French This is decisive it is a matter of knowing from experience that the French language is capable of expressing everything, that one can become competent in French, without any divorce or barrier between language and knowledge of a profession Of course, attention must be paid to the technical capabilities of our teachers, but at the same time they must be required to have a good mastery of French, terminology in particular The preparation of textbcxiks and other teaching materials in French must be en couraged For too long it has been repeatedly said that this is not possible It will be possible if we want it enough and take the necessary steps to make it a reality.It has been proven that Quebec teachers are capable of producing the teaching materials we need, provided the necessary conditions for creativity are available and publication methods are adapted to the size of the market Finally, closely tied to a knowledge of the language is a knowledge of our past Because language touches every aspect of life it forms part of a heritage much wider than itself It is justifiable to demand, as has been done so often over the past years, a much more comprehensive instruction in the history of Quebec, without however neglecting the contribution of its minority groups ?*?**?**?Minorities ?*?***?**?* Under this heading we describe the tasks which fall to the Department of Education, the CEGEPs, the universities, the Department of Cultural Affairs, the Department of Communications, the Civil Service Department, the municipalities and the Department of Municipal Affairs The government suggests that these bodies ensure: (a) Linguistic integration of the children of the various minorities, either by a system of kindergarten classes for learning French or a system of reception classes in the first years of primary school (b) The teaching of languages and literatures other than French, as part of a school and university program, wherever the demand is sufficient to justify this In this way students would come to know and appreciate the cultures which play their part in the life of our country The means whereby minority cultures will be enabled to develop and become more w idely known A few such means are: a system of subsidies to the ethnic press and for cultural events of all kinds; minority representation in cultural organizations; Radio-Quebec programming which reflects the presence of the various minority groups and contributes toward the preservation and enrichment of their respective hen t ages (f> Participation by Quebecers of vanous ongins in Quebec’s Civil Service The quality of neigh borhood relations in the municipalities of Quebec, ir order to prevent the creation of cultural ghettos The municipalities and the Department of Municipal Affairs should consider this problem very carefully *************** French Quebec ?*?**?*?***** The government suggests: ( a > That the Department of Consumer Affairs.Cooperatives and Financial Institutions and the Department of Justice see that their employees carry out their responsibilities with regard to the quality of firm names, in co-operation with the Office de la langue française (b) That all government departments concerned with commerce in general and labelling in particular, notably the Department of Agriculture and the Consumer Protection Bureau, pay special attention to the application of the Charter in matters of labelling, contracts, relations with members of professional corporations, and with the business world (c) That the Department of Municipal Affairs and the municipalities incorporate into their own statutes and bylaws the provisions of the Charter in matters of advertising and public signs, and instruct their employees to see to their application *************** Quebec's Image Abroad *************** The government suggests
