Jean Chretien said Tuesday he hopes to announce before the end of the month details of a promised $100 million subsidy program aimed at getting private business to create new jobs In the Commons.Chretien blamed delay in getting the program rolling on opposition MPs for allegedly stalling current debate on legislation containing personal and corporate income tax cuts, among other proposals “Unfortunately, it has been difficult for me to work on that program because I have had to be in the House for the last four weeks on a daily basis” to participate in the debate, Chretien said Chretien made the statement as opposition MPs demanded fresh initiatives to create employment after Statistics Canada figures showed the unemployment rate increased in November to 8 4 per cent, the highest since 1940 The actual number of unemployed leaped to 840.000 FOREIGN FIRMS TOP DREE AID LIST - MP OTTAWA < CP ) — The regional economic expansion department (DREE) is shuffling the country’s unemployed by allow ing foreign firms to set up plants at the expense of Canadian jobs, a New Democrat said Tuesday John Rodriguez (Nickel Belt) told the Commons a DREE grant of $2 6 million allowing an Italian firm to establish a plant to mnufacture compact refrigerator units in Granby, Que., would lead to reduced production and jobs for domestic manufacuters.Rodriguez said the grant was illogical since more than 99 per cent of Canadian demand was supplied by local companies The department w as only shuffling the unemployed fron one part of the country to another because any new jobs created in Quebec would be offset by workers laid off elsewhere, he said But Donald Wood, parliamentary secretary to Regional Expansion Minister Marcel Lessard, said the grant had been carefully reviewed by the department Wood said the grant would lead to the creation of 179 jobs and investment of about $11 million in a chronically depressed region of Quebec._________________ last month,

program would provide subsidies called employment credits to companies that hire additional workers It would be aimed at such labor-intensive work as wharf construction or railway maintenance Urging opposition MPs to start approving clauses of the tax legislation quickly, Chretien said the business community is getting discouraged by the slow pace and “if we proceed at this rate, the bill will not be passed for two years.” By the end of Tuesday’s debate.MPs had passed 13 of 116 clauses in the bill Because of a government motion limiting debate, the whole bill should be ap- Record Hiqhliqhts

fires sparked QPF raid Cheap domestic fares QUEBEC (CP) — Police raids on Liberal and Union Nationale headquarters last week were conducted after police had learned that Liberal party officials had destroyed documents from previous campaigns, Justice Minister Marc-Andre Bedard told the national assembly Tuesday.He said the raids were the first step in a new phase of a lengthy investigation into possible kickbacks involving the Quebec Liquor Corp Bedard said the three-year-old investigation had uncovered a scheme whereby liquor companies systematically contributed to political parties over a 10-year period An investigation was begun on Nov 28 last year to determine whether these contributions had been cashed Police found letters dated Nov.15—the day the Liberals lost the election to the Parti Québécois—and Nov.17, 1976 from Liberal party officials ordering the destruction of “all lists of non-financial correspond ence.” The minister would not specify who had written the letters, nor to whom they were addressed Ben Payeur, president of the Quebec Libbral Party at the time, denied any knowledge of orders to destroy files pertaining io the liquor corooration Bedard said about 11500

ties, Fox argues MONTREAL (CP) - Lawyers for Solicitor-General Francis Fox began presenting lengthy arguments Tuesday to support their contention that a Quebec commission of inquiry into police wrongdoing is unconstitutional Michel Robert argued before a Quebec Superior Court hearing that the federal government has “exclusive jurisdiction’’ over the RCMP and the task of protecting Canada’s national security.The argument is a key point in Fox’s petition to have the commission’s mandate, outlined in two Quebec cabinet orders-in-council, declared unconstitutional because it allows a provincial inquiry to investigate the internal operating methods of the federal police force Robert spoke for two hours before the hearing, expected to last several days, was ad journed early when bad

Tuesday, commission counsel John Howard said allegations of RCMP involvement in 80 to 100 illegal acts have been made since the commission was established six months ago This week the inquiry is dwelling on Operation Bricole (Oddjob) as the police called the 1972 raid on a left-wing news agency Documents tabled before the Quebec inquiry under lawyer Jean Keable indicate that Cobb, on Oct

said “In fact, they are farmers, students, pensioners and unemployed who suffer the same economic problems of all Quebecers,” he said In an interview following the discussion.Mr Paterson said the

smell of success hits East Angus Bv JOHN W ILDGUST EAST ANGUS.Que (CP) Although it is more pungent than sweet, the smell of success is nevertheless wafting across this small community which shucked a potential ghost town destiny to become a labroratory for an experiment in management-labour rela tions It’s the unmistakeable, sharp odor of a paper nill, the town’s only big employer and the point of a new balance between private enterprise and a union faced with a tough economic reality On one side, the union has agreed not only to a freeze on wages but also to co-ordinate in the laying off of about 125 workers And the company has agreed to remain open as long as it does not lose money, regardless of the level of profits, and to open its financial books to the workers The “crisis” which brought about the changes was the announcement last spring that Domtar Ltd was closing its 95-year-old mill on .Sept 30 on the grounds that it was unable to meet demands of the local.union, affiliated with the Confederation of National Trade Unions CNTU “There was panic,” recalled notary Claude Turcotte, chairman of a town committee set up when it became clear the loss of almost 600 jobs and an $8 million-a year payroll at the Domtar mill meant a total loss of 2,000 jobs for East Angus For the community of 5,000 nestled in the rolling hills of Quebec’s Eastern Townships about 150 kilometers east of Montreal, the announcement had the sound of a death sentence “I had grown men coming into my office in tears,” said Paul Pelletier, the Domtar manager Not only has the town survived and the mill remained open, but East Angus has become a com munity of unskilled workers whose local beer hall con versations can be easily led to subjects like the 90-cent Canadian dollar, the impact of differences in Canada-U S wage rates and occasional bitterness about the price the town’s workers have paid because of all that “They have learned a lot of basic information about their survival,” remarked Turcotte.East Angus has survived a crisis.Domtar has promised to keep its mill in operation regardless of profit level.But understood or not, the salvation of East Angus may have changed the way of life for the union “It’s a step backward for the CNTU” ventured Guy Tetreault, elected to the union presidency in July by a one-vote margin after campaigning to accept the layoffs and pay freeze to save the mill The men are still split, he said, and the union may have to think twice before initiating grievance procedures against the company Tetreault, a mill employee for more than 22 years, said the decision was the only one the union could take.“They didn’t want to throw the men out of work ” Happy to see the town still economically alive, another member of the rown committee.Oscar Fournier, is also aware that the siruation may be a dangerous precedent for labour relations “The CNTU is looking at what happened at East Angus and is afraid it will be a precedent,” said the fromer union oficial.a mill worker for 45 years.WORKERS LOCKED OUT Until the announcement May 6 of the shutdown, the Fast Angus situation was a classic case of strident management-union relations The union was demanding that wages be automatically increased to offset rises in the cost of living There had been a series of walkouts and incidents of “mechanical breakdown,” the mill had been plastered with “indexation” slogans and windows at the plant were broken Management had handed out suspensions and letters of reprimand and finally locked out the workers April MEMO American

announcement the mill would close Sept.30, following a rare meeting between union representatives and shareholders, was based on the company’s insistence that it could not meet union demands because of a general slump in the industry, higher wages and lower productivity than in the United States, competition from plastics and rising fixed costs.C OMMITTEE FROM ED In the two weeks that followed.East Angus went into action The workers voted to return to work May 16 on the company’s terms that they promise no the renew “harassment tactics.” The town committee was set up to try to prevent closing of the mill and the death of the town, and a committee of about 10 middle-management employees began looking at ways of saving jobs-including their own When Pelletier first saw the plan in June, he advised the group it had little chance of success And when the town committee got into the act, Domtar told them “we’d never get it approved by the union machine,” recalled Fournier Two union votes narrowly defeated the plan, then squabbling within the union came to a head July 10 with the election of a new executive In August the new executive held a vote which gave 55 per cent

by Americans as the country’s biggest single tourist attraction, has deteriorated in recent years, a federal tourism official has said Roland Boire, general director of marketing for the Canadian government office of tourism, said latest surveys in the U S show that Americans feel Canada is less attractive as a vacation spot because of a “perceived anti-Americanism ” “Our people were once our biggest attraction,” Boire told a Commons trade committee examining spending by the tourism office “But most recent surveys show we are less attractive ” Boire blamed the scant attention the U S press pays to Canada for part of the problem Whenever U S reporters do come here, they are focussing on negative events, he said But he added: “Americans are enthralled with the idea that they can leave their hotels in the evening and walk about the streets in safety That is impossible in almost every major US.city.” For the first nine months of 1977, the number of foreign Visitors entering Canada fell by 2 2 per cent to 27 7 million More than 90 per cent of the foreign visitors were Americans FACES A DEFICIT Because of the decline in visits to Canada and an increase in Canadian travel abroad,

foreign control of Canada’s retail drug industry Mrs Berkowitz, who works for an Independent Druggists’ Alliance (IDA) pharmacy on Jane Street, has been collecting signatures for a petition opposing the move by foreigners to buy into the industry Her opposition is aimed at the proposed acquisition of Koffler Stores Ltd., Canada’s largest drug store chain, by Imasco Ltd , of Montreal, a diversified holding company.Imasco’s major shareholder is British-American Tobacco Co Ltd , of London.England The purchase would give Imasco a 20 per cent share of the Canadian drug store business Recently, Boots the Chemists Ltd of Britain bought the G Tamblyn Ltd drug chain This, combined with the Imasco purchase, would give foreigners about 35 per cent of the Canadian prescription business BLOW TO CANADA Mrs Berkowitz said it is bad for Canada to have a significant share of the retail health care field pass into foreign control in the space of a few months For instance, she said large chains could eliminate the neighborhood store from the Ontario provincial drug benefit program which pays pharmacists a $2 75 dispensing fee, plus costs for prescriptions A big chain could tender for all the drug benefit business by offering to fill prescriptions at lower cost Federal government figures show that the 1976 volume of pharmacy, patent medicine and cosmetic stores was $17 billion With such a market, she said foreign-controlled firms may make decisions that don't reflect the needs of Canadians HALT MONEY FLOW “While control is in Canada, the decisions are made here and the money

I thought of them as tickets to magic worlds I loved the look of them, the feel of them, and I revelled in the heady smell of their new print If anything could compensate for the end of vacation, and the subsequent loss of freedom, it was the trip to Ansell’s.The store was located at the corner of Dufferin and Frontenac Streets Its entrance was on Dufferin.The book lists would have been given out at the schools in the morning of opening day, so it would be in the early afternoon that the scramble would begin, the influx to Ansells There would be laughing, chattering groups approaching from both sides, from Frontenac Street and from across the Dufferin Street bridge There would be heated arguments, discussions over who was taking, or not taking, certain subjects; who was sitting where in the classroom and who was to be the teacher for the year One or two of the latter were really dreaded A boy.running by on his way to the store, might stop long enough to ask whatever fnend I was with, who her teacher was going to be When told, he would throw back his head and shout, “Boy.do I feel sorry for you!” However, the crispness of the autumn day and the brilliant sunshine would quickly dispel all misgivings, and by the time we had reached Ansell’s our high spirits would have fully returned and we would push open the old screen door to enter that fabulous, once-a-year world I remember the two giant apothecary's jars that were suspended from the ceiling, one full of red liquid and one of green; great, mysterious globes of color, twinkling in that dim interior I can see now the row of Castoria bottles and a picture of the child who cried for it; the bottles of Dr Wood s Syrup of Norway Pine, and of course, the always present Scott’s Emulsion.For as long as 1 can remember, the cardboard figure of an ancient fisherman in slicker and sou’wester, supporting a huge fish, stood inside the door I think that his function was to encourage all mothers to give massive does of cod liver oil to their offspring throughout the winter months In the cosmetic line.1 recall Coty’s Face Pow der in sort of beige colored boxes with fluffy little powder puffs all over their surfaces There were only two types of face cream that 1 was aware of at that time, a cold cream and a vanishing cream, both put up by a company that I think was called.‘Daggett and Ramsell.* There were bath salts and smelling salts by Yardley.and , one more frivolous side, wonderful, squat bottles of a delicately tinted cologne by Harriet Hubbard Ayer called.“Pink Clover.” At least, that is how I remember it Even with the ultimate distinction of being the book center, Ansell’s would have meant nothing at all to us without Mr Berwick and our own Miss Brooks.(We had known her long before television! ).Mr Berwick presided over all.He was an extremely neat man and always wore a short greyish-white coat, which immediately placed him in the realm of great scientists and commanded respect.We did not have too much to do with him He would appear, from time to time, perhaps to give Miss Brooks a little moral sup port, but generally, he seemed always engrossed in some weighty problem of far more import than ourselves We really belonged to Miss short-lived, explore its pages, looking eagerly for pictures, and run our fingers over the virginal print Miss Brooks knew exactly which books were required I REMEMbER ShERbROOkE by KATltARiNE Snow Brooks She was not a tall woman, but carried herself most regally.She had soft, precisely waved hair of a sort of gingerish color and she wore rimless glasses She never joked with us.and she never talked down to a child We were treated with the gravest courtesy and with infinite patience It seems strange that I never remember the place being crowded or of having to wait very long for Miss Brooks I can see her now .taking a crumpled list from a perspiring hand, straightening it out.smoothing it on the counter and attempting to read it Sometimes, she would ask us to help her with a blotted word or two After the reading, while we stood in a breathless silence, she would turn slowly to the cupboards behind her.open the glass doors and bring forth one of the new books We would touch it with a reverence that would be for each grade, but she always allowed a young student to make his own careful selection, guiding him gently, correcting only when necessary How rich one would feel with that treasure of six or seven new text books’ How important one became, armed with such weapons against ignorance’ There were scribblers to be bought as well These had an assortment of covers and it was no easy task to make the final choice between a basket full of small, endearing kittens, or a tall, half naked Indian riding into battle New pencils in rainbow colors overflowed from a square cardboard box on the counter, long and lean, waiting to be shar pened and to start recording our efforts for the new term There were erasers, spongy and exciting to the touch, pen holders and pen nibs, and fat bottles of blue black ink Only the elite owned one of the marvels known as the fountain pen! After everything had been meted out and carefully checked.Miss Brooks would start to calculate the total cost of our purchases She always added out loud, as we watched her in awe, marvelling at her agility with figures I regarded her so highly that, in my early years, I thought that she and Mr Berwick wrote the books during the summer months! She would hand the bill across the counter and wait, with dignity and composure, while her young customer would struggle with the knot in his handkerchief and finally, pull out the paper money It usually came to about three or four dollars; but once.I remember a Ixiy who was to to go into (irade X.paying the incredible sum of $4 95 for a thick, black covered history book en titled.“World

Many business endeavors have come and gone in that old store since I was a girl, but I never pass without seeing Ansell s as it was then In my imagination.I push back the wide, old screen door, go

provinces in return for their help in managing the economy after wage and pnce controls are lifted next year Officials said Monday that Trudeau has decided to develop a post-controls policy with provinces and individual sectors of the economy, abandoning efforts for an arrangement with big business and big labor They said Trudeau will an nounce the economic initiatives sometime before Christmas, after completing his current round of talks with provincial premiers The controls program is to be gradually ended beginning April 14—2* j years after it was imposed The comments came as Trudeau prepared for the final lap of his pilgrimage to the provinces that has paved the way for economic change, but has blocked federal hopes for sweeping constitutional reform The talks with provincial premiers began last Oct 30, and end after todays scheduled meeting with Sterling Lyon, Manitoba's new Progressive Conservative premier, and a wrapup session Wednesday with Premier Allan Blakeney of Saskatchewan Officials indicated that Trudeau plans to trumpet his economic initiatives as a form of constitutional breakthrough, saying that federal moves to relinquish economic power to the junior governments alters the country's underlying political arrangement DECISION FRIDAY?Details of Trudeau’s decision could come at a news conference here Live with it We’ve heard some heated talk out of Len-noxville lately.Some people don’t seem to take kindly to the idea of a group of citizens organizing opposition to the incumbent council.Others object to the strong language used by the council’s detractors.Still others say the opposition group is powerless until it gains at least one seat on council.It wasn’t so long ago that Lennoxville residents were expressing their doubts in acclamation-style municipal government.A spirited election campaign culminated in an even more heated debate over electoral list omissions, with the logical result that people came out of the experience with considerable interest in what was going on in Lennoxville Town Hall.Can we honestly expect all that energy suddenly to lie dormant until the next election?Mayor Jean Drapeau expected that when he clobbered the Front de L’Action Politique in 1970; the resulting stored-up ferment dealt him a triple whammy in 1974 when the Montreal Citizens’ Movement came howling into City Hall as the official opposition at a critical time in the mayor’s grandiose Olympic financing plans.In other words, the voice of opposition in Lennoxville is there whether people like it or not; like they say, you can’t keep ’em down on the farm once they’ve seen Paree.JAMES DUFF R.I.P.Radarman Come Dec.31, the Deauville Speed Trap will be no more.Never again will we thrill to the sight of that ubiquitous green-and-white police cruiser parked just off the road as we wrench our foot off the gas pedal to hammer the brakes.Our children will grow up unaware of that terrible joy in telling old Dad the cop’s after him.Womenfolk will no longer be able to justify their go-slow edicts by telling hubby at the wheel the radar trap’s going to pick him up.Another victim of municipal cost-cutting, the Deauville police force will be replaced by Quebec Police Force patrols - unless appeals to the municipality are successful.For years now, the Deauville treasury has benefited from the truly enormous number of out-of-town motorists, forgetful locals and hot-rodders without enough oomph under the hood to make their escape.But one thing’s for certain - the Deauville radar trap was just about the best protection users of that intersection ever had.Kids could cross safely, vehicles could make their turns on all four wheels without some oaf trying to climb up their exhaust pipe and we all got used to the idea of Slowing Down in Deauville.The passing of Radarman is a mixed blessing indeed.JAMES DUFF Only English daily in the Eastern Townships Published by Townships Communications

responsibility for rebuilding the economy and for any national effort to deal with near chronic inflation and unemployment Ruling changes nothing — Speaker OTTAWA (CP) - Commons Speaker James Jerome ruled Monday that a much-discussed Ontario Supreme Court judgment does not interfere with the rights of MPs or the press In a ruling that former prime minister John Diefenbaker called Solomonesque, Jerome rejected concerns about the recent judgment of Chief Justice Gregory Evans on an international uranium cartel Progressive Conservatives had said the judgment might curtail the rights of the press to report the activities of MPs.Jerome said: —The judgment does not alter in any way the rights, privileges and powers possessed by MPs or as exercised in their relationship with the press in respect to proceedings within the Commons —Nothing alters existing privileges and relationships in respect to activities of MPs outside of Parliament.—The judgment dealt in the abstract and does not make an addition to the law of the land Jack Anderson’s Washington Merry-Go-Round Dump-Schlesinger gathers steam 1>\ Jack Anderson and Les Whitten WASHINGTON — A growing number of voices on Capitol Hill are calling for the resignation of Energy Secretary James Schlesinger Members of the “dump Schlesinger” movement feel the pipe-smoking energy czar’s policies, compounded by his personal “arrogance,” are alienating many congressmen and are hurting the White House on crucial energy votes The failure to pass strong energy legislation, they fear, could damage the Democrats in the 1978 elections with ominous portents for 1980 The House leadership has had no part in the rebellion against Schlesinger, but it is being orchestrated by some powerful subcommittee chairmen on both sides of Capitol Hill.A number of complaints have been sent to the White House, but they have been referred to Schlesinger’s office The House leadership has had no part in the rebellion against Schlesinger, but it is being orchestrated by some powerful subcommittee chairmen on both sides of Capitol Hill A number of complaints have been sent to the White House, but they have been referred to Schlesinger’s office In an attempt to fire a salvo over Schlesinger’s head.Hep Richard Ottinger.D-N Y .dispatched a private “Dear Stu” letter to White House domestic chief Stuart Eisenstat Without explicitly naming Schlesinger.Ottinger charged that his department has been packed with Republican holdovers and pro-industry sympathizers “The implementation of the President ’s policies is being left largely in the hands of persons whose past experience and personal commitment is to previous administrations.” Ottinger wrote Their outlook is “diametrically opposed to the policies and programs of this administration ” Schlesinger’s appointments raise “very serious questions” as to “presidential control of the department” and “the President’s own commitment” to his energy policies.Ottinger declared The pedantic, aloof energy secretary has created “adversary relationships with the administration’s natural constituency in Congress.” Carter should weigh this problem carefully, the congressman added, because “only the President can decide this issue.” The letter blasted 24 Schlesinger appointees, including: — Personnel chief William Hef-felfinger, “a hatchet man for the Nixon administration” who “worked to politicize the federal bureaucracy all the way down to the GS-12 level.” —Consultant Thomas Reed, a “major policy architect of the Nix-Ford administration” and a Ronald Reagan supporter who was slated for a high post before the growing criticism of his background —Acting general counsel Eric Fygi.whom we discovered had destroyed documents sought by Congress while he was at the old Federal Energy Administration —Undersecretary Dale Myers, who worked for Rockwell International and was an energy official under Nixon and Ford The Ottinger letter also named some GOP officials who were essentially non political But it neglected to mention Lynn Coleman, who represented oil and gas companies as an attorney for John Connally’s law firm Even Rep John Dingell, D-Mich., who has supported Schlesinger, complained to him in a private letter that a “disproportionate number” of his appointees were trained at the old Atomic Energy Commission.Energy Research and Development Administration or Defense Department Despite the congressional griping, however, it is unlikely that President Carter will abandon his handpicked energy czar Footnote: An Energy Department spokesman said there is no evidence of “a real movement” against Schlesinger Eisenstat’s office declined comment False Advertising — We recently reported that the militant Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms sent out fund-raising letters in the names of congressmen who never authorized it The group’s director, Alan Gottlieb, angrily blamed an “error by the mailing house ” The mailing house used by the gun lobby is owned by Richard Viguerie, a Who named Alt.Gosford?fund-raising genius for conservative causes We have now learned that Viguerie’s firm also has used congressmen’s names without their permission to raise money for an antiunion lobby called Americans Against Union Control of Government Across the country, people have been receiving anti-union letters with the name of their congressman on the envelope But angry constituents are now mailing the letters to their congressmen and demanding an explanation An outraged Rep Bob Walker, R-Pa , fumed that the letters are “designed to mislead the recipient into believing that I am sanctioning and sponsoring this effort.” Rep John Seiberling.D-Ohio, called the letters “ill-conceived and grossly unethical.” Even crusty Sen Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., who originally lent his name to the anti-union effort, has asked that it be withdrawn The furor on Capitol Hill has caused an unlikely alliance between House Speaker Thomas “Tip” O’Neill and Republican Leader John Rhodes They have each fired off letters to Attorney General Gritfin Bell to determine what legal action Congress can take against the bogus letters A spokesman for Viguerie told our reporter Warren Fiske that the letters “were a big mistake we blew it.” He said the congressmen’s names have now been removed from the envelopes Grounded: The Labor Department is preparing a major case against the giant Boeing Company charging age discrimination Labor investigators believe that when setbacks in the aircraft industry caused massive layoffs.Boeing first released

trend-conscious movie city, capitalizing on wide interest in women’s liberation, has released three major movies this year in which the protagonists are women and men are assigned to the minor

Mildred, of Greenlay They have several grandchildren and great-grandchildren The friendly neighbourhood exercise NORTHFIELD.Vt (AP) — A kit no bigger than a tobacco can could prevent a lost hunter, hiker or crosscountry skier from dying on some lonely mountain, says a winter-survival expert.Donald Jennings, an instructor at Norwich University and retired soldier, has spent years learning and teaching how to live and survive in the winter wilderness The survival kit he recommends for anyone venturing into the wilds in winter includes a number of items— some obvious, some in- novative—which fit into a small package It includes a balloon, candle stub, matches dipped in model-airplane glue for waterproofing, pencil and paper, magnifying glass, whistle, safety pins, needle and thread, adhesive bandages, aspirin, razor blade and wire “Use the balloon like a canteen,” he says.The pencil and paper could cut the amount of time a person is lost in the woods by days, he says.LEAVE NOTE Jennings says people going into the woods should leave a note at their car telling when they entered the woods, when they are due to return and the compass reading of the direction in which they headed The candle stub, matches and magnifying glass are for building a fire, he says, adding that a candle stub can raise the temperature inside a snow hut by as much as 30 degrees The wire could be used to build a lean-to shelter, the whistle for signalling help Safety pins, needle and thread can be used for first aid on cuts and to repair torn clothing that leaves flesh exposed to the elements Those compact, aluminum blankets sold in sporting goods stores that fit into a shirt pocket are great, Jennings says It’s a good idea to throw in a couple of sugar or soup cubes, or carry freeze-dried
