we’re told it’s a plot on the part of striking weathermen to bury the nation.OTTAWA (CP) - Last year, watch dogs at the residence of Canadas ambassador in Mexico City pounced on a local woman’s pet dog and killed it.The Canadian government forked out $207 to buy the woman a new dog An armed forces plane released a balloon carrying weather-forecasting equipment over Vernon Char-metski’s farm near Prelate, Sask A little radio fell off and down into Vernon’s International 915 combine harvester The government paid $1,760 in damages Soldiers firing a 21-gun salute at Remembrance Day ceremonies in Yorkton, Sask , broke $2,017 worth of windows in the town’s court house.Taxpayers picked up the bill.These are a few of hundreds of acts of destruction, accidentia! loss and outright fraud by civil servants, military personnel and Mounties outlined in the fine print of the 1977 public accounts Combined, the accounts show that the government paid out $13,505,852 in the financial year ending last March 31 for damage, traffic accidents, loss and larceny involving federal employees That’s a 17 per-cent increase from 1976, when the total was $11,562,915 Last year, public em- ployees wrecked $637,000 worth of vehicles and caused $2 2 million in damage to buildings.None of this was covered by insurance because, the government argues, the total is less than the cost of premiums Payments fall under several categories First, there are ex gratia payments made by the government as “an act of benevolence in the public interest’’ even though there is no liability.These cover the cost of the Mexican dog and such things as a boat and motor worth $1,004 to Indian chief James Mason, who rescued an employee of the Geological Survey of Canada from HOARDED STAMPS WORTH $1 MILLION VANCOUVER (CP) — The 50 million postage stamps collected by Hans Dietman and his mother—enough to fill a basement—will be sold at auction here Saturday to pay off a national revenue department debt.Joe Iorio, manager of a Vancouver stamp company, said Wednesday the stamps, weighing 2,250 kilograms, will be sold at auction through a sheriff seizure public sale Iorio said the most valuable stamps in the collection, which dates back to 1900, are probably worth less than $20 each and most of the stamps have only nickel and dime value But he said the entire collection is worth more than $1 million based on a minimum catalogue price listing of three cents a stamp Little is known about the collector and his mother, who left Canada for Peru, leaving behind the stamps and an unspecified debt to the revenue deparment Supt.Cobb tells MacDonald probe PQ spy network o'threa MONTREAL -RCMP Chief Supt Donald Cobb said Thursday he could produce a list of names of those in authority to be assassinated by terrorists in efforts to have prisoners released “Yes sir,*’ he replied as Guy Gilbert, a member of the McDonald royal commission into illegal RCMP behavior, challenged him to produce evidence “of these great events that never took place.” Cobh 47, now RCMP security chief in Quebec, had said Wednesday he authorized an illegal raid in 1972 on offices of the Movement for the Defence of Political Prisoners in Quebec partly because the movement was linked with plans for “selective assassinations.' kidnappi ngs armed raids, and an aircraft hijacking Terrorists hoped they could force the release of friends in prison.Cobb said Lawyers for the RCMP and Solicitor-General Francis Fox blocked further testimony about the list They noted that Fox has said that production of the list at a provincial inquiry would be contrary to the interests of national security.Mr Justice David C McDonald, confused for a moment, said sharply that he wasn't going to discuss with Fox, the RCMP or the government

employees of the Canadian embassy in Beirut who were prevented by ‘‘abnormal conditions” from reporting for work between March and July, 1976 The abnormal condition was a civil war CAIRO (CP) - President Anwar Sadat met again today with King Hussein of Jordan while Syrian President Hafez Assad toured the Persian Gulf trying to muster opposition to Egypt’s peace moves among Sadat’s bankrollers Assad met in Riyadh with King Khaled of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Fahd, the strongmen of the Saudi regime.The Saudis have maintained public silence toward Sadat’s peace campaign and gave no indication they might cut off their crucial financial support to Egypt.The Syrian president was to proceed today to Kuwatt, another big contributor of oil wealth to impovershed Egypt Hussein, trying to close the breach between Sadat and Assad, was following the Syrian to Riyadh, the Saudi capital, today or Saturday.The official Middle East News Agency quoted Hussein as saying” the Sadat initiative aims at establishing a just and durable peace in the region” Sadat presided over a massive public rally Thursday at which he dismissed his Arab detractors as ‘‘dwarfs and ignorant people” who had deliberately misunderstood his peace moves.SAUDIS APPROVE A leading Egyptian newspaper editor who ac-compained Sadat on his historic trip to Jerusalem told a news conference in New York that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait both approved of the Egyptian leader’s strategy ‘‘I have read letters between President Sadat and King Khaled,” said Moussa Sabri, editor-in-chief of A1 \Akhbar ‘‘I know that there were many contacts between President Sadat and Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is backing the visit.So are Kuwait, the Gulf coast, Sudan the Emirates, Morocco and Tunisia .” “Syria will come back with Egypt because there is no alternative,” the editor commented “If the Syrians want to make war, they can’t alone If they are struggling for peace, we are struggling for peace ” Hussein came to Cairo on Thursday from Damascus The Syrian government press and radio reported he failed to shake Assad’s opposition to the direct Israeli-Egyptian dialogue engineered by Sadat.AING HUSSEIN .conciliatory mood Preparations continued for the second stage of Sadat’s initiative-talks opening in Cairo next Wednesday between Egypt and Israel, along with U S and UN representatives, to make reparations for a general Arab-Israeli peace conference in Geneva SEND OBSERVER?Unconfirmed reports said Hussein might send an observer to the conference, but informed sources said he would hesitate to do so if that would threaten his relations with Assad Another mediator trying to bring Sadat and Assad together again, JJ.S Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, was flying to Cairo today from a NATO meeting in Brussels.Officials said he ANWAR SADAT .more overtures was able to arouse only lukewarm support among the United States’ European allies for the Egyptian-Israeli peace effort Vance will also visit Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia in an attempt to reinforce Sadat’s initiative The Soviet Union, criticized by Washington this week for refusing to attend the Cairo peace talks, lashed back at the United States Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said Vance’s efforts to make the Cairo meeting a success were ‘‘in direct contradiction” to the recent joint Soviet-US declaration on the Middle East, “which says Geneva talks must be held before the end of the vear ” Post Office acting to halt Xmas strike OTTAWA (CP) — Postmaster-General Jean-Jacques Blais said in the Commons Thursday that legal actions are being taken to assure that Christmas mail won’t be halted by walkouts Blais said about 900 of the 1, 400 employees of a postal sorting plant in south-central Toronto were at work Thursday despite reports that only a handful had shown up He was replying to Otto Jelinek (PC—High Park-Humber Valley), who asked Blais to end sporadic walkouts and bring postal service “at least back to the snail’s pace we’ve become accustomed to.” The minister said the post office is seeking court injunctions to force members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) back to work Contract talks with the union have become bogged down, and legal sanctions are being considered if negotiations fail, Blais said PET runs student gauntlet at alma mater £ \ F PIERRE TRUDEAU .good to be back?MONTREAL (CP) -About 800 University of Montreal students greeted one of the institution’s most famous graduates.Pierre Elliott Trudeau, with a chorus of equally loud boos and cheers Thursday Some students complained of illegal RCMP activities, price and wage controls and Canada’s continued trade with the apartheid government of South Africa Many of the questions had a decided Marxist flavor and were often shouted down by others among the overflow crowd Trudeau’s visit to the French-ianguage university, where he was a student and later a professor before entering politics, was one of several public appearances Thursday by the prime minister and a dozen cabinet colleagues The public sessions followed a cabinet meeting where ministers considered 19 briefs submitted by various provincial interest groups The groups’ complaints about federal economic and labor policies were presented more politely than the students’ grievances The students complained that the RCMP security operations infringed upon their civil rights and that the government appeared to have lost control of the federal force Trudeau repeated that “politicians must not control day-today operations of the police” and that certain clandestine operations were necessary to subvert terrorism APPEARED ANGRY Many of the students appeared angry that the federal government was attempting to limit the powers of a Quebec inquiry into the RCMP Trudeau’s answer that a provincial government should not investigate a federal force nor the federal government investigate a provincial institution did not appear to win support Some students condemned the Canadian government for continuing trade with South Africa Trudeau replied that Canada trades with many countries such as China and Argentina which have a system of government this country opposes Transport Minister Otto I^ang and Urban Affairs Minister Andre Ouellet announced a multi-million-dollar port development ANNOUNCES GRANTS Marcel Lessard, regional economic development minister, announced that nine Quebec firms will receive more than $500,000 in grants from his department The projects will create 133 jobs and generate investments of $4 5 million, Lessard said WEATHERMEN WALK OUT ACROSS CANADA Meteorologists walked off the job one minute after midnight Thursday night in Toronto, Montreal and Halifax A union spokesman said the strike was a protest against the federal treasury board’s uncompromising stand on the issue of time off as compensation for shift work The meteorologists, of the professional institute of the Public Service of Canada, were unable to resolve the dispute and were in a legal position to strike, Charles Levy, an information officer for the meteorologists, said early today.The 530 meteorologists provide weather forecasts and routinely issue aviation forecasts The union spokesman said a skeleton staff would remain on duty in the three cities to provide a weather warning service for the public.DOLLAR'S RISE CONTINUES MONTREAL (CP) — The Canadian dollar gained more than a third of a cent on New York money markets Thursday, closing at 91 56 U S cents.The dollar has been inching ahead steadily all week, advancing more than 1 1-3 U S cents since Monday Exchange market analysts said they had not expected the dollar to reach such levels until early next year and were surprised by its recent upward swing They said the currency has probably been given a boost by recent announcements that two government agencies Hydro-Quebec and Ontario Hydro-are planning to borrow $1 billion in Europe and the U S.The analysts added that the dollar has also been helped by recent statistics which show that Canadian economic growth picked up in the third quarter and the Gross

of massive layoffs in the mining industry.New Democrat Arnold Peters suggested Wednesday in the Commons Peters, MP for the Northern Ontario riding of Temiskaming, said Inco and Falconbridge.Canada’s

Ski operators smiling -on their way to bank Just when some of us had begun to believe that the ski industry was on the rocks - literally * along comes a blanket of white to smother even the tiniest bare spot which may have fed the notion “You want to discussthe plight of ski operators?” repeated Murray Yeudall, the chef’ of winter fun at Bromont, cheerily “I would say it’s more like the pleasures of ski operators” Though the early week blitz of snow had yet to reach Bromont slopes.Yeudall couldn’t mask his delight because even without the assist from Mother Nature he was prepared to begin snow-making operations Tuesday morning, about 10 days earlier than last year’s schedule.-So when the flakes became intense the following day, they carried not only a silver lining but perhaps the multicolored hue of dollar bills since an early ski season to an operator is like currency sifting down the heavens “I hate to shoot down your story,” said Yeudall, “but I don’t think we’re behind at all It’s quite normal, actually Sure, there was one year when we started on November 15 but that was exceptionally early.” In Sutton, Yeudall’s counterpart, Real Boulanger barely had time to rejoice over the newly-arrived cushion for his slopes as he scrambled to set his large operation into motion While the snow wasn’t any less welcome in this part of the Townships, its presence was received with the mixed reaction one shows toward an old friend who’s arrived late for supper “We’re already down about 20 per cent in revenue compared to the same time last year,” lamented Boulanger.“Of course, one has to remember that we had 62 inches of snow during the month of November, 1976, and we were able to open for skiing on November 13.But I would have to agree the date of this year’s snowfall is very normal ” Though skiers have been whizzing down Sutton’s slopes since November 26, the snow’s stubbornness prevented Boulanger from reaping a hoped-for bonus since an earlier arrival would have brought Americans across the border during their Thanksgiving break.Ski operators have learned, however, that fretting over the punctuality of winter is as useless as performing a snow dance.That’s why you won’t catch them keeping on constant vigil in front of the window, with both ears straining to hear the latest weather report.“I don’t put much faith in weather forecasts,” said Yeudall, “because they are rarely able to predict the weather for the Townships They may be accurate in the vicinity of Dorval airport but they’re usually wrong in their forecasts for this part of the country.” The weatherman pulled out of his slump this week and though it’s a couple of weeks before Christmas, sugar plums are already dancing in the heads of Ski East operators, with holiday reservations well ahead of last year If that sounds like an industry on the rocks, then they must be streaked with gold.Terrace cafe intriguing Cowansville residents who have been properly impressed by the cosmetic change which has occured in its commercial section during the past year can look forward to the beautification of yet another blemish.The decaying South Street building once occupied by the 75th Field Battery has been purchased by a local businessman named Philippe Lizotte who has definite plans to restore the place to a state of respectability.He intends to divide one section of his newly-acquired property into a public market, which will operate on weekends and provide producers and artisans with the opportunity to sell their merchandise without having to go through a distributor I’m more intrigued, though, by his plans to turn another part of the building into a terrace cafe, which can be moved outside, overlooking the banks of the Yamaska River during the warmth of summer.It’s an inspiring gesture but one can only hope the venerable Yamaska will cooperate during the dog days of August.One whiff of its unsavory spray snould be enough to convince diners that they’re not exactly seated on the French Riviera Incident sells masks There’s been an exceedingly large run of those birdcage type face masks at Cowansville sporting goods’ stores following a near-tragic incident at the Sports Pavillion two weeks ago.A youngster playing in a Bantam League game left the ice with his face covered in a pool of blood after eyewitnesses claimed he received an errant stick or puck in the vicinity of the eye Transported immediately to hospital, it was initially feared the 14-year-old would lose at least partial vision, but league president Jacques Dupuis confirmed this week normal sight has been restored and the boy is suffering no ill effects from the harrowing experience But many of his confreres have been doing some serious thinking in the wake of the incident At least three players per team have taken to wearing face protection and hopefully it will trigger a movement to make face masks a mandatory piece of equipment at the minor league level.CORRECTION SWANSON'S TV DINNERS lOVjoz.ass't.- 4 By NICK FONDA For The Record RICHMOND - Rich * mond’s Town Hall is nor mally a rather dry and formal place but from the 8th to the

other items produced by local crafts-, men The exhibition, the first of several to be held during the next eight months, was arranged by Denise Delaney.“I’m the chief organizer of this project, she explained, “but there are really quite a few people who have helped bring it about The funds to start us off come from a grant we received from Canada at Work Andre Lupien, the mayor of Richmond, was very helpful: the project was sponsored through him and he also found us a place to exhibit.” During the last few weeks Mrs.Delany, Jeanine Gallup and Alain Courtemanche have been busy combing the Richmond area looking for people who are actively engaged in some form of art or craft work.“There are many people in this area,” she explained, “who do very fine work, be it embroidery, crocheting, painting, sculpting, or even cooking We want to get examples of this artwork collected in one place so that people will be able to see what our local artisans are doing.” “We feel,” continued the

to offer.’’ “In a way this project is a quest for identity; if Richmond is special, and I think it is, then our artists and artisans are the ones who will help us define what that special something is.” The December exhibition is the first and is centered on the theme of Christmas Everything exhibited will be for sale and, unlike most exhibitions, the full proceeds of the sales will go to the artisans “This first exhibition is a shotgun approach,’’ explained Mrs.Delaney, “in that we hope to offer a bit of everything We hope to have an exhibition a month and to feature something different every time For example, in April I’d like to have something on maple syrup Not just cans or bottles of syrup, although we’ll bave that too, but I’d like to feature the various sugar molds that

Cantons Inc Publisher: GEORGE ROY MacLAREN General Manager: NORMAN NICHOLL Editor: JAMES DUFF Tel.: 569 9525 Keep it up, folks Safe Driving Week ended at midnight last night with only three fatalities across the province.That’s some record.For the first time in living memory, nobody died on provincial highways over the weekend, while a young Marieville girl, a Montreal pedestrian and a St.Hyacinthe fatality marked Quebec’s only road deaths during the seven-day period.While police give some credit to their intensive safe-driving campaign, they also put a lot of stock in the fact that driving was difficult to impossible during two of those days as a blizzard swept across Quebec.Even so, that’s some record for Quebec.How long has it been that this province has topped the Canadawide traffic fatality list?Too long.However, there’s no Safe Driving Week campaign yet devised which will prompt people to wear their seat-belts unless police tell them to.There’s no campaign under the sun which will force those idiots with summer tires to equip their cars properly for winter driving.And how many hundreds of cars are driving around with only one headlight working?None of us can put on airs; the other night while driving home we were thinking of matters other than the job at hand and plunged into a fairly deep snowdrift.We were pretty upset; a car with four snow tires shouldn’t slide off the road like that, we told the man with the tow truck.“You could go off the road with chains on if you’re a fool enough driver,’’ he said.So true.For us, it only cost a few bucks to have that same old lesson hammered home for another winter.Others will pay more dearly.Give yourself that extra few minutes you need to get to where you’re going without playing at being a Shell 4000 rally

of visits with provincial premiers Within the next few days he will officially announce an economic summit meeting of those premiers and himself to be held probably in early or mid February The meeting will be open to radio, television, press, and the public and could last several days Ontario premier William Oavis made it very clear during Mr Trudeau s visit a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to set» a conference that gave full scope to the provinces A day and a half ritual meeting with handshakes and lunch at 24 Sussex Drive was not his idea of the way to deal with the situation, Mr Davis added Mr Trudeau told newsmen after his meeting with the Ontario premier that he was willing to take “as many days or hours” as necessary, an indication he is willing to meet Mr Davis’s conditions That same week Mr Trudeau went to Quebec City and a meeting with Kene Levesque They agreed on the economy but disagreed on practically everything else Their staffs laboured long and hard to minimize the possibility of any incidents or confrontations and in that they were successful Everyone was cordial a smiling Camille Laurin warmly shook Mr Trudeau s hand and post'd for pictures The actual mood was somewhat different As Mr Levesque said after the four hour meeting, their fun damental differences remained During their lunch Mr Trudeau at one point raised his glass and made a toast to Mr Levesque’s “misfortunes.” Mr I,evesque im mediately answered “I reciprocate.” They also met the press separately.In every other visit to provincial capitals Mr Trudeau has held joint news conferences with the premier of the province In Quebec-City, Mr Trudeau answered questions first while Mr I^vesque returned to his office When the prime minister had left the Quebec premier came back to the Red Chamber for his news conference The economic summit in Ottawa will not provide any help for this w inter’s unemployment problems Sources in Ottawa suggest the prime minister may bow to provincial demands for more participation and let them make some decisions Then of course, if the economy doesn’t im prove, the responsibility will be shared It’s not far from many people's minds these days that there will probably be an election by next summer An economic summit with the provinces and Ottawa agreeing on new programs certainly wouldn’t hurt a federal government facing an electorate Wage and price controls end next April 14 and a June election would mean that the controls were off, as promised, but any major problems that might arise because of that wouldn't have had time to take effect 7Q tests for politicians Terry Hargreaves The Sherbrooke Record’s Ottawa correspondent Only English daily in the Eastern Townships Published by Townships Communications

polls released this week have given new heart to the Opposition parties in Ottawa The gap between the Conservatives and Liberals con-tinues to narrow, although it is still 10 percentage points The figures are interpreted in various ways The polls did show a slight lessening of support for the Liberals in Quebec and Ontario The conventional wisdom here was that the Opposition attacks on ministerial responsibility in connection with the RCMP controversy had not helped them at the grassroots The Liberals comforted themselves with the reading that people at home didn't like to see the RCMP being criticized Either that wasn't correct, or the heavier stress placed by the Opposition on ministerial responsibility has had some effect In any event, the Conservatives seemed to have started the climb back from the trough they were in last summer TAKE A Rl6fiT AT THE m Aintw Editor : When we stop to realize the brains required to run a news publication, to become a civil engineer, a medical doctor, a plumber, a supermarket, a hardware store, a drug store and many many other occupations too numerous to mention that require a reasonable intelligence quota, one cannot help but ask especially after seeing and hearing them on TV, what is the IQ of Ottawa and Quebec politicians0 What are they being paid for and what do ordinary hard - working French and English speaking Canadians want with the modern trouble makers whose looks are anything but intelligent0 Now we are told that the boss man responsible for the plight Canada is in is talking about resigning if the people of Quebec vote to allow the most incompetent Government to rule them, tax them, spy on them and administer the most thorough screwing any people have ever experienced.and, while this is going on the entire debt-ridden provincial administration will collapse If other occupations call for the ability to think, why shouldn’t the same rule apply to polititicians?If other jobs call for courage and initiative why shouldn’t the same rule apply to political people0 Nowadays if what we see, read and hear is anything to go by, any nitwit can get himself voted into political power where he then ignores people’s wishes Criminals are pampered and the worst kind of slander is hurled at the greatest police organization the world has ever known, a police force that Canada is proud of, a power responsible for building this great nation Is there any wonder our political men get pies thrown at them0 Grade school children could do a much better job of running Canada Anyway it’s time IQ testing were used before political power is given to individuals or else put people in power whose intelligence has been proven before hand, like that of a scientist or civil engineer At the Jack Anderson's Washington Merry-Go-Round Red tape ensnarls us all l>\ Jack Xndcrson and Les W hitten WASHINGTON — Legislative bodies at all levels - federal, state and local -enact an estimated 150,000 laws each year.On the average, each new law will require the issurance of 10 regulations The end result of all this is growth beyond control or comprehension of government regimentation in the United States Add to this regulatory entanglement the voluntary standards which are accepted by industries and often adopted by the government These techinical, eye-straining codes determine such details of commerce as the width of tires, space between struts of children's playpens and impact resistance of football helments Even the indomitable Superman has been bound up by the Lilliputians who write the regulations His derring-do is carefully prescribed by the comic book industry’s code of conduct, which mandates that good must triumph over evil Thus Superman must go on, page after page, overpowering the bad guys who are doomed in advance to defeat Every private enterprise of any consequence is now ensnarled in red tape For the Federal government alone, business had to prepare 114 million forms last year It is the genius of the free economy that it does not require the innovator to secure the permission of organized society to launch his schemes If he can get a few speculators to bankroll him, he is on his way free to create if he can If he succeeds, the rewards for him are spectacular and society shares in the gain If he fails, only he and his improvident backers are the lesers But the difficulty is getting an innovative proposal, of even a routine one.past all those regulations The rigid observance of rules and procedures requires the interminable seeking of permission for any divergence Kept within its proper sphere, such rigidity is bénéficient Imposed upon society at large, it results in stagnation, which ends in purification The government clerk seated in his cubicle pondering an application and deciding it runs afoul of regulations is getting a strangle hold upon us But so gently, prosaically, gradually and invisibly does he tighten his clutches that we never appreciate the extent to which we are in his grip We protest only the inconveniences •he bureaucrat imposes upon us - the late letter, the length of government lines This finesse, this capacity to narcotize, makes possible feats of domination unimaginable to Charlemagne or Napoleon There are benevolent bureaucrats who protect the public and restrict the predators with fairness and restraint There are also relentless and rapacious bureaucrats who harass the citizens they are supposed to serve And finally, there are reluctant regulators who befriend the lawyers and lobbyists of the industries who befriend the lawyers and the lobbyists of the industries they regulate It is not unusual for regulatory agencies to adopt the standards that the industries impose upon themselves These standards are seldom subjected to the rigorous evaluation that goes into developing government regulations They are often vague, with no provisions for oversight The voluntary standards are coor dinated by the American National Standards Institute, a non-profit federation of 985 private professional, scientific and trade groups One government expert told Senate investigators that ANSI standards appeared “to be written by persons who primarily represent the business interests of their own company or industry.” For example, an Ohio sewage line worker, wearing a construction helmet that complied with ANSI standards, was struck bv a frozen sand ball He died from skull fracture complications Alarmed, researchers tested several similar helmets, all of them sold by manufacturers that subscribed to the safety requirements.The The researchers found that the helmets “were not manufactured uniformly enough to guarantee an acceptable product” and that they did not “comply with the minimum impact resistance performance requirements.” Yet these industry standards had been accepted by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration An internal Commerce Department evaluation of voluntary standards cites 28 “so-called horror stories ”, covering the industrial gamut from asbestos cement pipes to hot water heaters Both the Commerce Department and Federal Trade Commission found that some industries also used voluntary codes to restrict competition and exclude innovators from the marketplace One FTC investigator told us that deliberate exclusion was not widespread but that the “aggregate dollar value” of the excluded products was “substantial”.ANSI’s legal counsel, William Rockwell.said the “horror stories” are merely allegations He told our associate Tony Capaccio that complaints against voluntary standards are “usually brought about by guys who want to push themselves into the market politically ” Richard Simpson, former chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, now an ANSI consultant, gave us a more revealing comment “If you stacked up standards that have been written about as anticompetitive,’’ he said, “the pile would be one inch high If you stacked up the standards that nobody complained about, the pile would be 100 feet high ” And if you stacked up all the regulations Americans are expected to live by, you would have another Tower of Babel present time huge sums of money are paid from the nations treasury to encourage a breed that hasn't guts enough to do what it had been given a mandate to do In two world wars the best of Canada’s manhood were sent away to be killed or mained in senseless political struggles thousands of miles from Canada, now in 1977-78 we lack the courage to defend our very Canadian borders Have we deteriorated that much in so short a time?It has always been my understanding that Ottawa made the rules, that Ottawa was Canada’s headquarters the same as Washington D C.is the United States HQ and London.England is the HQ of the British Isles It isn’t the voters that say whether or not Canada breaks up, it’s Ottawa So get off your fat fannies there and give us leadership Give to the French and English speaking peoples of Quebec the protection they are entitled to.All Canadians are entitled to the same value for a dollar and it’s the federal government’s duty to see that every Canadian gets full value If it costs more to live in one part of Canada than in another, then there is something wrong, an injustice is being done It’s Ottawa’s dqty to correct that injustice If the leader is afraid to use the federal power he has, then put others there like Jack Horner or Barney Danson while PET takes a trip to the moon for a month or two or three until things get straightened out and provincial leaders and their cabinets get switched around But first of all we need a complete unbiased nationwide IQ testing of all political men including the opposition; it will be a lot cheaper to keep approximately sixty per cent where they belong than where they are now TED W RIGHT Dunham Age 77 tested IQ 125 Plus Overseas Can Army Vet of both World Wars She stands corrected

5th general meeting of the Town of Lennoxville.Thank you MRS.SONYA BARDATI Lennoxville Totalitarianism looms Editor: Although I am not a person who is normally inspired to write complaining letters to a newspaper, I feel a personal sense of outrage In my opinion, the RCMP raids of last week were totally uncalled for, our national police force, in trying to call attention from its illegal activities of the last decade, seems to think that arresting non-violent dopers is going to make a better image for themselves What with the crime rate soaring upwards, and the economy faltering, exactly what is the point of spending thousands of dollars of taxpayers money sleazing around for months and months trying to figure out the drug trade0 Really, just because somebody smokes hash, and maybe takes the occasional hit of mescaline does that make him a criminal0 I look around and see our freedoms being slowly destroyed Rounding up dealers at 4 in the morning strikes me only as a form of egotistical release for sick men out to impose their own social order upon hopless citizens During the 60 s, there were a lot of us who hoped that finally the archaic morality of our times was falling apart We protested, we sang out.only to find ourselves ridiculed and prosecuted for our beliefs in world peace and harmony amongst all men.And none expected a backlash such as the RCMP has decided to give us To me, legal censure for drug use is only a small step away from totalinarianism, where the State endeavors to control all aspects of thought If we have found a better and safer stimulant than alcohol, why should they try to take it away from us° Perhaps because drug use in moderation tends to make one transcend the sham and nonsense of current society When the hot air of politicians and law enforcement officials (who would have us all up against the wall with mug shots and finger prints to facilitate harassment) becomes too evident, they feel obliged to instill a bit of fear in people to show who is boss I find the arrest and prosecution of drug sellers and users a prime example of this, and I find it disgusting And the Sherbrooke Record does not help the situation any by publishing the names of the unfortunate people who were involved in the RCMP raids, and making them subject to further embarrassment One day we shall be free, but it’s going to be a long time coming

FAMILY DESTITUTE She was eight when her fa ther died leaving the family destitute, so the Warrens moved to Ixnidon where art teaching was available to Emily’s four sisters A legacy enabled Emily to

commission by the RCMP, they will be produced behind closed doors Joseph Nuss.Fox’s lawyer, was granted time to discuss the list with his client.Earlier Thursday.McDonald ruled against any recognized status for the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and two civil liberties groups that had sought the right to question witnesses The McDonald ruling granted status to lawyers for the RCMP.Fox and former solicitor-generals Warren Allmand and Jean-Pierre Goyer This means only they and commission counsel Howard, or someone acting for him.will be permitted to question witnesses.Vancouver lawyer David Gibbons, representing the Canadian Federation of Civil Liberties and Human Rights Associations, referred after the ruling to the commission’s “Liberal ties ’’ Michael Meighen, representing the Conservative party, said the ruling might force the party to ask in Parliament questions it couldn’t raise before the commission.McDonald said much of the public hearings will be devoted to fact-finding and additional lawyers grilling witnesses would create the inquisitorial “atmosphere of a court of star chamber ’’ Cobb, only witness since the commission began its public hearings Tuesday, will return to the stand Jan 11 when the commission opens an additional three days of hearings on the 1972 raid that led to its creation W AS THREAT In testimony Thursday, Cobb maintained that: —He pleaded guilty last spring to authorizing the raid without a warrant after Quebec Justice Minister Marc-Andre Bedard threatened to charge all police who were involved if senior officers from the RCMP, Quebec Provincial Police and Montreal City Police did not plead guilty.BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH of the Eastern Townships 4848 Bourque Blvd., Rock Forest, across from Woolco.Pastor

Québécois a “spy network’’ that gathered economic and financial information of value to it “and also likely to be of value to a foreign power" FOREIGN AGENTS Cobb added that PQ members had been seen in the company of foreign agents “We were not dealing with a network of internal security to protect the party,'* he said In testimony Wednesday, Cobb referred to the “Parizeau network’' but McDonald blocked an attempt Thursday by RCMP lawyer Pierre Lamontagne to have Cobb elaborate on this reference A published report said PQ Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau had confirmed such a network existed and included federal civil servants.McDonald said that a person named in such a context would not be able to get before the commission for weeks to answer the allegation and meanwhile would be suspected of “espionage.” —The Parti Québécois planned in 1973 to “take over’’ the Creditiste party in Quebec by loading riding conventions with PQ supporters who would then nominate PQ members as Creditiste candidates When Lamontagne asked whether this was a threat to national security, Cobb replied that it was interesting because PQ members planned to use false Creditiste membership cards “What does this have to do with national security?” A J Campbell, the 73-year-old commission counsel, interjected Lamontagne said that “Operation Ham” would put it in context The matter was left there McDonald said Wed.that the charge Cobb pleaded guilty to-authorizing a raid without warrant-did not seem to exist There was no Criminal Code requirement to obtain a search warrant “Trespassing, isn’t it?" the judge added of what the police did Oct.7, 1972, in breaking into the downtown Montreal offices and carting away 1,000 pounds of documents.Campbell, questioning Cobb, said the RCMP security chief in Quebec knew the law well enough to know that the raid involved “theft of documents." Cobb said he knew the raid was not legal, but this was not his first consideration in 1972 WE BSTE R — I wish to thank all those who sent me gifts, cards and phone calls on my ninetieth birthday
