Field investigators of the RCMP Security Service weren’t told until Sept 23 this year that it was illegal for them to open first-class mail, the McDonald royal commission into illegal RCMP behavior was told Wednesday A message to area commanders went out three days after RCMP Supt J D Cain, in charge of the RCMP legal branch, told security service headquarters Sept 20 by memo that it was illegal for anyone to open mail or de tain it.The Post Office Act makes it a serious criminal offence to even walk away with a letter found in the street However the RCMP practice was only gradually showed down and finally stopped in the 1970s, the commission learned The service regarded the practice as a vital tool in dealing with foreign spies and terrorists, operational chief Murray Sexsmith and his predecessor, Howard Draper, have testified Draper gave evidence Wednesday under protection of the Canada Evidence Act He testified that when he became deputy director for operations in 1969, records were fragmentary and mail openings were “a little ca sual.” HELPED DRAFT MEMO Draper helped draft a top-secret memo to area commanders It was signed by L R Parent, then assistant commissioner for security and intelligence, and issued Nov.2, 1970 It noted obliquely that it is illegal to open mail and “there is absolutely no indication that this aspect is likely to be rectified in the near future ” The force felt that national security justified continued “development and cultivation” of postal employees willing to cooperate, the memo said Investigators were reminded that the postal employees were risking their jobs and should not be identified openly 4-only by code numbers—in files under the heading Operation Cathedral ‘‘You weren’t concerned with the fact that you were asking these people to break the law?” Mr Justice David C McDonald, the commission chairman, asked Draper Draper said the RCMP felt the broader concern for national security justified asking them to cooperate The memo broke down Operation Cathedral into three types (A) a “routine name or address check;” (B) ‘‘intercept (photograph or otherwise scrutinize by investigator) but do NOT open;” (C) “intercept and attempt content examination ” Operations under (C) could only be authorized by the head of the security service after Nov 2, 1970 Before that.Draper said, “a reasonably junior branch officer” had been able to authorize mail-opening A message to area com manders June 22.1973, sus pended all Cathedral operations Draper was unclear about how long the suspension was in effect W hen asked why he hadn’t tried to get a warrant in 1974 under the amended Official Secrets Act, he said he had been told in conversation the Secrets Act wouldn’t override the provisions of the Post Office Act .Sexsmith said he refused to authorize any more mail openings after he succeeded Draper, who retired Aug 1, 1975 Mr Justice McDonald noted that altnough Sex-smith said he stopped authorizations in 1975, Solicitor-General Francis Fox said in the commons last month that the RCMP had stopped opening mail in 1976.'Add a note stating our latest crime statistics but do not include any RCMP activities!’ Quebec, France play politics Quebec-Canada squabble surfaces at African meeting MONTREAL (CP) — Le Devoir says Quebec and France managed to use the Wednesday opening of a meeting of an international francophone agency to draw attention to the Quebec Ottawa conflict.In a front-page story from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, the newspaper says France and Quebec obtained the right to make surprise speeches immediately after the opening of the conference of the Cultural and Technical Cooperation Agency The report said the speeches welcomed representatives of New Brunswick Acadians to the con ference and denounced a Record - Bruce Porter Taking a breather YOU DESERVE A BREAK TODAY — After this week's less than amusing weather, all deserve a break.This city of Sherbrooke employee takes a hard-earned few minutes rest after cleaning off the court house steps.Yesterday’s snowfall of close to 25 centimetres, coupled with freezing rain and drizzle, kept Sherbrooke Municipal Police and Quebec Provincial Police scurrying to accidents around the area.Municipal police answered more than 20 accident calls yesterday, only one of which involved injury.QPF report no injuries in the five accident calls which they answered.Two East Angus ambulance attendants were treated for minor injuries at St.Yincent-de-Paul Hospital after their ambulance collided with a taxi at the corner of King Street and 10th Avenue at 8 o'clock last night.Alain Dumont, of St.Jean Street in East Angus, and Mario Lebrun of Victoria Street were released after treatment.Their passenger.Pascalina Rossi, 59, heart-attack victim, was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.Her death, which has been attributed to “natural causes”, was not related to the accident.This year’s December snowfall of 70.8 centimetres has far surpassed last year’s total December accumulation of 56.2 cm.Spies, informers needed, says Supreme Court chief OTTAWA (CP) - The use of spies and informers is an inevitably requirement for detection and prevention of some crimes.Chief Justice Bora Laskin of the Supreme Court of Canada said Wednesday.Without these means police would have to depend on complaints from victims or catch criminals red-handed, ‘‘an exercise not likely to be crowned with much success.” the chief justice wrote in a high court judgment on a narcotics case He mentioned consensual crimes, such as prostitution, illegal gambling and drug offences.which involve willing persons The participants, victims or not, usually wish to avoid police aid, wrote the chief justice.“The police .must take some initiatives.” But such practices “do not involve such dirty tricks as to be offensive to the integrity of the judicial process.” However, a problem that causes judicial concern is police-instigated crime, where the police go beyond solicitation or decoy work in order to ensnare and prosecute someone In such situations, courts can speak of entrapment and consider what effect this should have on the prosecution of the person caught But drawing the line between use of spies and decoys and entrapment is difficult.Chief Justice Laskin said OUTRAGE DECENCY ‘‘Although courts may agree that entrapment outrages one’s sense of decency and shames the administration of justice, there is a difference of opinion as to what the control mechanism should be ” Chief Justice Laskin said the difficult questions of entrapment should be left for consideration in a case that demands a decision He indicated the case before the court did not demand this court fight over Bill 101 MONTREAL (CP) -The dispute over Quebec’s Charter of the French Language moves from the political hustings to the courtroom today, when a trio of Montreal lawyers appear in Superior Court to argue the Parti Québécois government had no right to make French the official language of the Quebec legislature and courts.At issue is Chapter III of the language law, the import of which is summed up in a single introductory sentence: : “French is the language of legislation and justice in Quebec .” From there the law rules that: -All Quebec laws will be drafted, passed and receive royal assent only in French, and although an English translation will be published, only the French text is official.-Individuals will retain their current right to plead before Quebec courts in either English or French, but incorporated groups must use French unless both parties agree otherwise -All court procedural documents must be in French unless the parties agree otherwise -Judges must either render their decisions in French or have a French translation made, with the translation rather than the original English text to be official Challenging the Quebec legislation are lawyers Robert Litvack, Donald John- ston and Andre Brossard, who will ask the court, in the person of Chief Justice Jules Deschenes, to declare all those provisions unconstitutional on grounds that they violate language guarantees in the British North America Act.Blaikie, a Conservative by political affiliation, says the six lawyers are united by a common belief that the government should not have meddled in Quebec’s bilingual court system “None of us has ever witnessed any incident or dis pute over language in a courtroom,” he says.federal government propos al for a meeting of the heads of government of French speaking countries Le Devoir says Maurice Ligot, a French government minister in charge of that country’s delegation, caused a stir by not mentioning the New Brunswick government as he welcomed representatives of that province’s’ French-speaking minority.New Brunswick recently joined the agency as a “par ticipating government.” Its admission has generally been interpreted as a Canadian attempt to counter Que-bec’s influence in the agency SHOW SUPPORT The newspaper says Quebec wanted France to show its support of Quebec’s participation on the international scene by underlining New Brunswick’s new “international stature ” Ligot later described the omission of any mention of the New Brunswick government in his speech as a result of “insufficient editing,” and a printed edition of the talk given out later contained one reference to the province.Le Devoir adds that New Brunswick’s representative at the conference, Youth Minister Jean-Pierre Ouel-let, was not aware of any intention to extend a special welcome to his province.It also says Quebec obtained renewed support for CYPRUS PRESIDENT'S SON KIDNAPPED NICOSIA (CP) - The 19-year-old son of the president of Cyprus has been kid napped, with his abductors demanding an amnesty for prisoners in return for his freedom, an official announcement said today.A statement on the state broadcasting network said: “About 8.30 p m.yesterday the son of the president of the republic, 2nd Lieut Achillas Spyros Kyprianou, was kidnapped by unknown persons “The kidnappers have made the release of the kidnapped conditional on the granting of an amnesty to convicts, persons in custody and wanted persons ” The council of ministers and the national council -an advisory group had met to discuss the situation, it said There was speculation that the extreme right-wing organization, EOKA, under ground might be behind the kidnapping Earlier this month, a series of bomb explosions hit military bases and other British installations on the southern coast of the island Police later arrested nine known followers of the or ganization The bombings were reported part of an EOKA bid to stop the extradition from Britain of one of its members to face trial for murder its position on a proposed meeting of heads of government of French-speaking countries -Quebec does not wish to force an international fran cophone agency to arbitrate on the province’s differences with the rest of Canada, Que bec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Claude Morin said Wednesday * y Record Highlights Dll FOR LESS The Saint Francis Burial and Counselling Society is promoting a new attitude towards funerals which includes $25 cardboard coffins and do-it-yourself kits.MAPLEWOOD PAST Maplewood Convent has been standing for over a century and many Waterloo residents are concerned that it may be torn down.Alice Buckland takes a look at the convent’s past.Page 3.FANTASY TRIP Devon Wilkins Wilkinson is now a resident of Toronto but her family still live in Mansonville and she comes home often to visit.She speculates on the possible difficulties she will confront trying to visit Quebec after independence Page 11.BIRTHS, DEATHS 5 FAMILY CLASSIFIED 14 FINANCIAL COMICS 15 SPORTS EDITORIAL 4 TV A cold war Is when nations flex their missiles.

Saint Francis Burial and Counselling Society—a nonprofit, non-sectarian group formed 18 months ago—is seeking to encourage a healthier attitude toward death and to bring consumer and environmental concerns to funerals Rev Robert Herzog, an Episcopalian minister and one of the society's orgam zers.said in an interview Tuesday that current U S attitudes are to handle death in a detached way.avoiding much as possible being reminded of death "We’ve liecome very used to picking up the telephone and having someone come and take care of it “It's kind of mechanical, very proper, very polite, very sensitive but still very A new group has formed to provide an alternative to expensive burials.This is the stuff that costs $500 a bottle Wine cache discovered in old cellar EAST HARTFORD, Conn (AP> — Alexander McNally found a ‘‘live and still dancing partner” in a dusty bottle of wine Not any old wine— this is the stuff that goes for $500 a bottle or more McNally is a wine expert for Heublein Inc The wine, some of it more than a century old.had been buried in the cellar of the 18th-century Ten Broeck Mansion in Albany, NY, once the home of a wealthy family and, since 1948.property of tho Albany County Historical Association The wines include bottles of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1878 and Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1875 McNally estimated the value of the wine at $500 to $1.(KM) a bottle “Never has there ever been found and made available to the world such a number* of vintages," McNally said as he tasted of the grape Monday.The wine will be sold in May at Heu blein’s rare wine auction in Atlanta The money will be used to help restore the 180-year-old mansion The wine cellar had been kept locked since the histori cal society took over the mansion because a board member objected to opening it The board member died last year, the cellar was opened this October, the wine was discovered and Hueblein was called in to appraise and sell it.TASKS SEALED The number of intact bottles is not known.There were 30 cases in the cellar, 26 of them still sealed Two bottles of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1875 opened Monday were found to ht» “live wine," with a “very mature, fruit smell" and a flavor “even better than the smell," McNally said It was, in his words, “a live and still dancing partner " He estimated that 30 per cent to 50 per cent of the Ixittles were still well filled, had good color and had solid corks, meaning they will be drinkable when opened The wines all come from what McNally called “the golden age of European wine," 1858 to 1878, the period before European vines were hit with a fast-spreading destructive dis ease The European stock was saved by grafting vines on to American plants Until it is purchased the wine will be kept in the tern perature-controlled Heublein warehouse “We really can t move around wines like this with 100-year-old corks,” McNally said “Just the gentle sloshing of the wine while a bottle is being moved could destroy the corks and spill the wine " Nickel industry needs boost Energy Minister Alastair Gillespie said he will ask Ontario to ease the tax burden and pollution standards to help the flagging nickel industry.He said federal and provincial ministers will meet next month to consider the problems of the mining industry Commenting on the layoffs announced last week by Falconbridge Nickel Mines

post-system detached And at the end of it vou get a bill, a considerable bill To provide an alternative to that approach, the society offers people the option of inexpensive funerals that call for more participation by the family and friends of the de ceased and even by the deceased person, who before death can approve funeral arrangements and perhaps build his own coffin HELP PROFESSIONALS Herzog said the society also aid doctors and lawyers to understand better how to deal with terminally-ill people and the implications of informal funerals Many people, he said, do not understand that the traditional and often expen sive funeral and coffin is not legally necessary: “There’s no requirement that the container be anything It could be a bag " In addition to its $25 cardboard container, the Society offers a knottv-pine coffin kit for $90 and a traditional-style pine coffin for $160 to $185 Some persons, Herzog said, want to revive the old practice of building one’s own coffin Others are concerned with “the environmental issue of biodegradable containers," and many see no reason to pay the standard U S price of about $1 900 for the full services of a funeral home Many who build their coffins in advance use them as functional pieces of furniture, he said—storage cabinets, wine racks, even coffee tables PROVIDE COUNSELLING But the Society does not exist mainly to offer low-cost funerals.Herzog said One of its prime purposes is counselling and discussion, to help people face the reality of death and feel healthy grief When normal grief is sup pressed, he said, it can sometimes take people a long time to come to terms with the death of a loved one In the past, when family groups were closer.children learned how to express natural grief by seeing their relatives discussing a death Now, he said, grief is hampered by elaborate funerals and geographic separation of members of a family.“We don’t know what it is any more " The St Francis Society, loosely organized

growing in popularity and experts say they will continue to proliferate in the years ahead “It’s inevitable," said Philip Murphy, a Santa Barbara.Calif , lawyer and the American Bar Association’s expert on pre paid legal insurance The programs are designed to provide legal advice for middle-income people who cannot afford high lawyers’ fees but earn too much to qualify for publicly funded legal aid services There are two types of group legal arrangements— those providing a minimum of service, such as advice and consultation, and those offering comprehensive and substantial benefits in

Surveys have shown that about 15 or 20 per cent of those covered by the plans use some legal service during the year, Murphy said Group legal plans got a major boost last year in the form of the Tax

to import large numbers of Western books for sale in Russian bookstores Two Moscow stores are pioneering the project, which began in earnest in the last month Officials said the program is an effort to comply with the 1975 Helsinki agreements, which call for increased literary contacts among countries The Soviet Union has long published its own translations of Western books, often with special prefaces commenting on their contents But the direct import of Western books in their original languages might significantly broaden the range of titles available to Russians, particulary those who know foreign languages The first batches of books from the United States.Britain, France, India and West Germany appear to have been carefully selected Chum Ltd.sales up TORONTO (CP) — Chum Ltd

preliminary estimate last month.Baguley said Dollar hits record low LONDON ( AP) — The U S dollar skidded to new record lows against the West German mark.Dutch guilder and Swiss and Belgian francs on European foreign exchanges Tuesday The drops came in the wake of Monday’s meeting of central bankers in Basel.Switzerland, during which the U S indicated it has no immediate plans to revise its monetary policy to halt the dollar’s decline Nervous trading in the exchanges reflected the disappointment of European bankers, dealers and government officials at the U S position Dealers expressed fear that the inconclusive outcome of the Basel meeting signalled a lack of co-operation on the part of the major industrialized countries The current state of disarray, coupled w ith a lack of a coherent policy, further sapped confidence in the U S currency, they said Canada to resume shipments STRASBOURG 'Reuter) — Canada will resume ship^ ments of uranium to the European Common Market on Jan 1.1978.EEC Energy Commissioner Guido Brunner told the European Parliament here yesterday Brunner, addressing the CCE’s consultative assembly after a meeting of the executive commission, said Canada and the EEC had found “a formula of consultation which takes into account the interests of both sides” and which would enable Canada to lift its year old suspension of uranium supplies, imposed because of concern over EEC safeguard standards Brunner led the EEC team which has held negotiations in Brussels and Canada this year with Canadian officials The scare is over -Quebec's economy is on the upswing MONTREAL (CP) Economic Development Minister Bernard Landry said Tuesday that Quebec’s economy is on the upswing, partly because businessmen are getting over the scare of separation and partly because of his government’s policies But the minister added that provincial government efforts at resolving economic problems are useless unless there is a decentralization of economic power away from Ottawa Landry told a businessmen’s luncheon that “the forecasts I have now indicate strong possibilities of a firm recovery which could attain a growth almost double that of 1977." Statistics indicate 2.1-per-cent growth for Quebec in 1977, compared with 2.7 for Canada as a whole, he said Factors that will help in 1978 are the depreciation of the dollar, which will boost exports, the government’s program to stimulate the economy, and “a greater comprehension, if not a greater acceptance, of recent political events." SEES NO CRISIS These figures should quiet “the prophets of doom for Quebec,” Landry said.“The sky hasn’t fallen on our heads." Despite his usual optimism, the minister noted Quebec still labors under 11.4-per-cent unemployment, a manufacturing industry with productivity 17-per-cent below’ Ontario’s, lack of competitiveness of small businesses, and a lack of large companies.Solutions are impossible, however, “without a true decentralization of powers touching the economy “Too many solutions, too many hopes are constantly held back by the single fact that the powers and the means to better the lot of industry, or of a company, are in the hands of persons who are too far away to un- derstand, and too slow to act " He also gave the audience, mainly French-speaking businessmen, a review of the government’s accomplishments in its first year in office.POINTS TO GAIN These included a “buy-Quebec" policy, which he said has already allowed a half-dozen companies to be gin operations, and about ten more to expand He told reporters later the greatest benefit was to the hospital supply business The government has also invested in modernizing some 60 factories.Landry said He also mentioned govern ment plans to buy a major ity share in Asbestos Uorp , increased hiring in the pub lie sector, and last spring’s economic conference among government, labor and busi ness.Earlier Tuesday, Landry and Social Development Minister Pierre Marois announced a make-work project in which the govern ment will spend $15 million by April, 1979 The intent is to aid in the creation of small industries such as canning, greenhouse agriculture and the manu facture of machine parts currently imported The ideas and most of the resources were expected to come from community groups, credit unions and small businessmen, the ministers said The illness you II never see coming Get in shape — and don t give the enemy a big target Fitness is fun Try some PdRTIClPdCTIOn V) NEVER MISS A CALL PHILIPS CODE-A-PHONE Telephone Answering Systems * Answers the phone in your own voice * Signals caller to leave message * Records calls 24 hours a day * 8 models to choose for home or office For More Information Please Call CHRETIEN BUSINESS MACHINES 562-6936 DRAWING POLAROID "ONE-STEP" CAMERA (One camera to be drawn) Stanley Frooblth PHOTOMAN SERIES STARTS TODAY Save eoch of the ten photostrips that will be appearing in The Record Write down all the photo hints you con find At the end of the series o group of questions will appear Answer them correctly and your name will go into the drawing Photomon series will end December 28 1977 Watch for more details Sherbrooke Record employees and their families are not eli gible for entry TH K SHERBROOKE RECORD -

residents Brome-Missisquoi MP, Heward Grafftey announced Tuesday that he has made representations to the minister of environment, the secretary of state for external affaire and to the International Joint Commission concerning water levels on Lake Memphremagog Early last month, Mr Grafftey and Compton MP.Claude Tessier were petitioned by members of Mem-phremagog-Conservation Inc., Quebec's largest environmental association to make the representations Mr Grafftey stated that “the Memphremagog-Conservation Inc.has applied to the International Joint Commission to determine maximum and minimum water levels for Lake Memphremagog, together with the water management program to be applied.” In 1935, an international agreement was signed between Canada and the U.S., which established a minimum, maximum level of approximately 3 and one half between them, but no standard was fixed concerning operation within the limits.The past summer, water levels exceeded the treaty “high limit’’ and contravened the terms of the law Considerable damage was caused Mr.Grafftey termed the issue “most urgent”, and said it was essential that the whole matter be brought before the cabinet and joint commission Operation Alpin begins In an attempt to reduce the number of ski thefts this winter, the Quebec Provincial Police Force has begun “Operation Alpin ” Alpin Operation tags, which will be available at all skiing centers, records the serial number and make of your skis Stickers which indicate your skis are identified will also be distributed If you are the victim of a ski theft, and you know the serial number, the police will then record the number in the computer of the Quebec Police Information Center, to which all Canadian Police Forces have access Any policeman finding your skis can then quickly identify them Make it a good skiing season-join Operation Alpin Municipality found guilty The Municipal Corporation of Farnham was found guilty of contravening provincial environment quality laws by Cowansville Sessions Court Judge Leonce Cote in a decision handed down Nov.29 The municipality was fined for openly burning garbage in a dump located in the parish of Saint-Romuald de Rainville The dump, which was located within 1,000 feet of a residential area, was not properly cared for or covered after burning The minister of the environment had ordered the dump closed in the autumn of 1976 Rustic Fence lays off 15 Fifteen employees of L.G.Rustic Fence, Stanstead’s largest employer and Canada's most important cedar fence manufacturer will be laid off this Friday, company

Communications Inc Communications des Cantons Inc Publisher: GEORGE ROY MacLAREN General Manager: NORMAN NICHOLL Editor: JAMES DUFF Tel.: 569 9525 Essential distinction A meeting of 300 businessmen was held this week at L’Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales in Montreal in order to discuss the “francization” of business in the light of Bill 101.Mr.Michel Pelletier, a vice-president of the provincial government-owned Sidbec-Dosco should be commended for the attitude he took to this delicate problem at the aforementioned symposium.Mr.Pelletier made a clear distinction between “francization” and “francophonization” stating that he preferred increased use of French by all, rather than replacing English-Canadians by French-Canadians.This distinction ic essential.It would be intolerable to exclude a person from any position because of ethnic background.People can learn to speak a second language.They cannot however, change their mother tongue, nor should anyone expect them to.GEORGE MacLAREN True picture needed According to yesterday’s Gazette, Energy Minister Guy Joron has delayed the release of his government’s White Paper on energy in the wake of a recent federal government survey which determined that 56 per cent of Quebecers do not believe that an energy crisis currently exists.The provincial government is, in part, responsible for this situation.For some months various representatives of the government and of the Parti Québécois have been spreading the word that the economy of an independent Quebec would be based on cheap hydro-electric power.Very little mention has been made by these same persons of the advantages to Quebec of the present federal government energy policy.Quebec is not immune to worldwide trends in the energy field just because it produces large amounts of electric power at relatively competitive cost.Mr.Joron has an obligation to spell out clearly to the people of Quebec all the facts concerning the present energy situation.GEORGE MacLAREN •x*:‘:*x*X‘:*:*x*X‘X*x*x*x*XvX\*:*&vx*:v:*>x*:*:*x*x*x*x*:*x-x*:*x’:v:vX*x*x*x*aX\ X,X*X*X*X*XvXvX*X\vX\,XvX\'XvX,X,X,X,X,X\vX,X*X\vX,X*X*X*X*X*X*X"X* UNITED NATIONS (CP For years, the Israelis have been insisting that the only way to achieve true peace in the turbulent Middle East was through direct face-to-face negotia lions with their Arab adversaries They got that chance Tuesday when an Israeli delegation sat down at a large circular table in Cairo’s venerable Mena House Hotel with representatives of Egypt.Israel’s principal foe in three deca des of bitter Arab-Israeli hostility For the Israelis, the his tone meeting marked the approach of the hour for the hard decisions which Egyptian President Anwar Sadat has said they must make if they want a settlement For the first time, Israeli negotiators were seized frontally with the immediate question of what they are prepared to give up for the sake of peace Sadat made his bid concession when he flew to Jerusalem last month to address the Israeli parli-ment and set in motion the peace initiatives which now open in the shadow of pyramids recalling 7,000 years of Egyptain civilization.CHAIRS ARE EMPTY At the table with the principals were representatives of the United Nations and the United States-and the empty chairs of the invited, but declining delegates from Jordan, Syria, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Soviet Union Nothing spectacular was expected to come out of this first meeting, which was regarded as the first of a number of negotiating sessions leading, perhaps eventually, to a formal Geneva peace conference The representatives at this meeting were medium-grade officials and no hard and fast decisions can be expected until the negotiations reach the foreign minister level These initial talks constitute the opening round of a sort of diplomatic poker game, with the Israelis holding all of the chips-the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip seized from Egypt in the 1967 war, the West Bank of the Jordan River captured from Jordan in the same conflict and the Golan Heights taken from Syria, also in 1967 The central question is how much of this territory Israel will be prepared to surrender in return for an over all peace settlement and guarantees of secure borders The Sinai, a vast arid wasteland, serves now as a buffer between the armies of Egypt and Israel, with a UN force to supervise the truce, and presents few problems Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel is on record as saying he is prepared to give the Sinai back to Egypt in return for a settlement The West Bank, home of nearly 90,000 Palestinian Arabs, is a tougher problem It is here that the PLO, dedicated to the destruction of Israel, wants to set up an independent Palestinian state Israel has firmly refused to accept a hostile entity on its doorstep But Begin and Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan already have hinted at concessions Begin says he wants to meet with King Hussein of Jordan and make him some offers and Dayan said Monday that Israel might agree to partition the lands of the West Bank if that is what the Arabs want.Hussein would like to see the West Bank returned to his kingdom but his claim to the territory, in Arab eyes at least, is teneous since an Arab summit meeting in 1974 designated the PLO as the sole representative of West Bank Arabs Hussein went along with that decision For years before the 1967 war, Syrian gunners on the Golan Heights regularly bombarded Israeli farms on the lowlands across the Syrian-Israeli border and Begin may be reluctant to give up more than a token portion of that strategic ter ritorv The United States, which lost any control it might have had over Middle East events when Sadat made his dramatic flight to Jerusalem, has moved to downgrade the long-heralded Geneva peace conference.President Carter had pressed for the convening of a Geneva meeting by the year-end, but his national security adviser.Zbigniew Brzezinski, now says Geneva can be used as a forum to ratify agreements reached elsewhere U S.State Secretary Cyrus Vance, meantime, appears to have been largely unsuccessful in his quick tour of Middle East capitals this week in an attempt to rally enthusiasm for the Egyptian peace moves With one exception m."Now that I have you all together .Editor: There were two

\ndcrson and Les Whitten 12 months 6 months WASHINGTON - Just as he has dedicated 66 zesty years of living to the betterment of the American people, Hubert Humphrey is devoting the days of his cancer treatment to the medical benefit of mankind The undanted “Happy Warrior” is quietly permitting cancer experts to use experimental, therapy techniques on his incurably ailment.The ultimate story of courage has gone modestly unmentioned by the Minnesotan and discreetly withheld from the public by his doctors Humphrey makes the rounds of public tribute, drawing tears and affectionate admiration with the trademarks of his career ebulience, humor, optimism and courage But out of the public limelight the former vice president is quielty report ing ot the National Cancer Institute to undergo uncomfortable and novel therapy After removal of a cancerous bladder on October 1976, Humphrey could have opted for a plush VIP suite at Walter Reed Army Medical Center or Bethesda Naval Hospital and been spared anguish by shots of morphine and similar pain killers Instead, Humphrey deliberately chose to become a sort of guinea pig for researchers at the National Cancer Institute He was aware that his form of bladder cancer and how it spreads is far less understood than the more prevalent lung and prostate cancers The primary purpose of the doctors at the institute is assuredly to prolong Humphrey’s life But they can also study the course of bladder cancer in a living victim and how the disease responds to two innovative chemotheraphy treatments Both treatments are still highly experimental One requires the taking of an oral chemotheraphy agent.Hexamethyl- melamine As a side effect, it causes fatigue, nausea and severe loss of appetite but Humphrey gamely reports for his treatments The treatment has been more widely used in Europe than in the United States By an unusual coincidence, Humphrey once sponsored and helped get through the Senate an aid program to allow Hexamethylmelamine to be tested in Egypt Humphrey also takes another experi mental drug known in the laboratories as “5-FU ” It must be injected firectly into an artery and one research told us ‘‘it hurts.” The unpleasant and painful treatment has rarely been used in cancer cases such as Humphrey’s and one scientist predicted the data he is providing unquestionably will be useful in helping future victims of bladder cancer At a dinner in his honor recently, Humphrey made a fleeting reference to the physical toll the chemotherapy has taken He mentioned having gone through 10 days of “intensive chemotheraphy which has just about knocked me for a loop” but cheerfully added it helped him “get enough strength to be with you tonight.” Members of the institute research team working with Humphrey speak of his valiant help in awed and poignant respect Some compare his willingness to be a guinea pig to the tradition of Major Walter Reed’s volunteers who allowed themselves to be infected with yellow fever to prove that the killer disease was carried by the anopheles mosquito “He’s just a fighter,” one worker said of Humphrey “He’s a fighter in every aspect of his character, even including this one " Computer Security: The U S govern ment is finally betting around to sa feguard its 10,000 computers which handle billions of dollars in federal funds A Senate investigation a year ago showed that there were no security precautions to prevent a criminal mastermind from getting access to the computers.The electronic brains blink out the orders for Treasury payments to farmers, welfare and Social Security recipients, colleges and government projects of every description The Senate probe found only the CIA and the Defense Department ran background checks on people hired as computer programmers It was “open sesame” in every other department and agency Now, at last, the White House has been sparked into action The Office of Management and Budget is reviewing computer security throughout the federal establishment An OMB official told us that tighter regulations will be forthcoming soon On Capitol Hill, Sen Abraham Ribicoff.D-Conn , has introduced legislation to deal with potential com puter swindles and thefts The mea sure, which has powerful bipartisan support, would set up stiff penalties for computer crimes and make it a federal offense to tamper with any government computer Interestingly, Ribicoff’s proposed bill would incline computers at Leavenworth penitentiary where inmates are being trained on machines that distribute payments to the soil bank program, the Commodity Credit Corporation and approximately 20 projects involved in disaster relief funds A spokesman for Federal Prison Industries told us security at Leaven worth is excellent He said there have been no instances of a graduate from the federal prison using his newly acquired craft to commit a computer crime Indeed, a number of ex-convicts have been hired by large private firms Editor: I was filled with rage after £ reading Mr Kenneth * Herring’s letter in Friday’s j; paper concerning the J R.C M P ’s drug raids £ I have known Mr £ Herring for many years and I

woman to win the Nobel prize for medicine in three decades, said last weekend that discrimination has kept women from attaining a higher place in the scientific communitv Addressing a Nobel banquet audience that included King Carl XVI Gustaf and 400 Stockholm students, she said students are “the carriers of our hopes for the survival of the world ” Mrs Yalow said: “Among you students of Stockholm and among other students, at Manitoba family law suspended WINNIPEG There are signs that the Progressive Conservative government has no intention of altering its planned suspension of Manitoba’s new family law legislation in spite of more than 20 briefs condemning that step During one lengthy brief presented to the law amendments committee on last weekend.Premier Sterling Lyon was overheard saying to himself: “They’re all wasting their time, anyway.” Another Conservative MLA said there was “ just no way at all the new govern ment could allow the legislation to become effective because it would be seriously harmful to many Manitobans Only one brief supported the bill, which would postpone indefinitely the enactment of the Marital Property Act and suspend the Family Maintenance Act.which has been in effect since Nov.14 It appears that the committee will allow the public to present briefs again today hut hopes are growing that members will be able to pass the remaining three pieces of legislation, secure royal assent and prorogue the legislature on the same day Attorney-General Gerry Mercier has said the two laws will be amended this winter and brought back at the spring session of the legislature Several briefs challenged reasons given by the government for holding back the legislation Winnipeg lawyer Jill Oliver took issue with statements that the Marital Property Act and Family Maintenance Act would result in “needless and expensive litigation” and are difficult to understand She said the problems are technical and minor but since the introduction of the delaying bill, “we are in the position of not knowing how to advise our clients.” She added: “I would suggest that if the Income Tax Act had been delayed because it was too complicated, it would never have come into effect 50 or 60 years ago ” Traditional festive cranberry loaf r Did you know that cran berries are native to North America9 The first colonists discovered

Dear Ann Landers: May I say a few words to the millions of American housewives who can’t seem to find or keep domestic help0 As a woman who has been a housekeeper for many years, I would like to ask

getting three, tour or even five years ago0 And someone should tell them second-hand clothes, leftover food, and discarded furniture do not take the place of money Does she get a vacation with pay, like other women who work in business or industry0 The women who do the complaining should be honest and admit that perhaps they are largely responsible for the scarcity of domestic help — Bird’s Eye View Dear Bird: I’ve had the same wonderful housekeeper for 22 years and according to her, you know what you’re talking about Thanks for a letter that is sure to please some and angry many Dear Ann: I’ve decided to type this letter because I’ve tried to write it several times and my hands shook and the tears messed up the ink I refer to the minister who spoke to the groom with cold feet I wasn’t the groom (I was the bride), but my feet were cold then and they are colder now It’s been ten years since I married Next month I’ll be 29 years old with three children I remember going to a few people and telling them I was having second and third thoughts about going ahead with the wedding My best friend said she was so thrilled to be a bridesmaid she’d die if 1 changed my mind Dad lectured me on what a great guy I was getting and how “lucky” I was When I tried to give the ring back, the “nice guy” started to cry.I couldn’t stand it so 1 went ahead with the wedding, thinking if I tried hard enough it would work and at least I wouldn’t hurt anyone else Now when I look at our wedding pictures I’m surprised I could smile Deep down I wanted to die Three years ago a marriage counselor said we needed help My husband told him to go to hell Things were a mess but I managed to keep going l am now 60 pounds overweight, have ulcers and can’t remember a time when I wanted to live Thanks for the shoulder.Ann If you think this letter is worth printing, please fix it because I’m too upset to write it over.My real message is that when a person has cold feet about a wedding, he should listen to

were first sold commercially in Nova Scotia, towards the end of the 1800’s.Now they are produced in Quebec, the Maritime province and the largest production in British Columbia Annual production reaches about 7,000 tons, valued at approximately two million dollars Close to a fifth of the cranberries produced are further procès sed.Canada imports a little more than 2,000 tons a year to satisfy its demand Cranberries can be found on the market from the beginning of October right through December Their availability probably explains when they are such a traditional favorite around the festive season They vary in color from a bright red to a very dark red depending on the variety and can become darker if they are stored in a temperature ranging from 40 to 50 F When buying cranberries, look for ones that are well rounded, firm and have a bright, clear color Those on the market are almost all Canada No 1 grade Pick out the soft or moist berries to prevent spoilage from spreading Wash before using and remove any stems Take advantage of the seasonal availability and freeze for later use No special preparation is Agriculture Canada required, just wash and pack in freezer containers

Do not keep reusing the same mixture once it is discolored but pour it out and make up a fresh batch.This method was sent to a top chemist in Washington and he replied that they found this a most effective way to remove stains and whited garments.In every case tested the fabric was either lightened or completely whitened.—MRS.D M.FREE WIN a week in ACAPULCO for 2 persons plus $300.00 IN CASH Get your FREE entry form at your participating •\V- Samtone Certified Master Cleaner Crown Magog 1705 King St.W Sherbrooke LAUNDRY 569-2585 Ltee Inc.499 Main St.W Magog rsri.-L.-s.Prefabricated Olympic fireplace & Selkirk Chimneys LE ROI DU FOYER Flroplaco Installation Sales & Service guaranteed A.Mathieu Showroom & Warehouse 562-2440 61 St.Jacques St.St.Elle d’Orford BUCK AND DOE RESTAURANT SPECIAL WELCOME TO OUR CANADIAN * FRIENDS Planning a Christmas Party?We Have The Facilities.Reserve Now.Also Gift Certificates (Any Amount) Available Superb Food-Impeccable Service A REALLY NICE PLACE TO EAT MODERN DECOR RESERVATIONS APPRECIATED OPEN YEAR ROUND !

held both.His first plan was to play West for a doubleton king of diamonds.Then South saw a better play based on that king of spades lead.He took dummy’s ace, discarded a low diamond, drew trumps with one lead from dummy, :a continued with the jack of spades on which he discarded a second diamond.West took his queen and could do nothing better than to lead the suit again.Tins gave declarer a chance to chuck his queen of diamonds.He led a diamond to his ace, entered dummy with a trump, ruffed a diamond, entered dummy with another trump, ruffed a third diamond to set up North’s last diamond, went
