FLQ couple to appear today MONTREAL (CP) Jacques and Louise Cossette-Trudel, who returned to Montreal on Wednesday after eight years of exile, appear in sessions court today to face charges of kidnapping British diplomat James Cross The couple was held over night in police cells as prime suspects in the abduction of Cross, the former British trade commissioner whose abduction sparked the October Crisis of 1970 The precise charges against them include kidnapping, conspiracy to kidnap, for cible detention and attempted extortion Serge Menard, lawyer for the two former members of the Front de Liberation du Quebec, told reporters after meeting briefly with his clients they had decided how they would plead when they appear in court But he refused to say what the plea would be.The question has aroused interest because a long trial might, in effect, become a public inquiry into the entire October Crisis.On the other hand, a guilty plea would cut short the proceedings with no testimony.RELAXED FLIGHT The Cossette-Trudels arrived at Mirabel International Airport Wednesday noon, following a relaxed flight from Paris on which they sipped beer, read stories to their children and napped The two exiles, both 31, and the two Quebec-provincial police officers escorting them had the entire 30-seat upper cabin of the Boeing 747 to themselves They were the first to board the plane in Paris and the last to leave in Montreal.One stewardess who served them lunch said the children were “running all over the place and carrying on.” The Cossette-Trudels decided last summer to return to Quebec despite a pledge by provincial justice authorities to prosecute them The government ear lier this year refused their plea for amnesty.On Wednesday, Prime Minister Trudeau refused to comment on a statement by Quebec Premier Rene Levesque, w ho said the eight years the Cossette-Trudels have spent in exile should be taken into account if they are found guilty.“We all would be better to meddle with what is lief ore the courts,” Trudeau told the Commons The two children of the Cossette-Trudels, Alexis.6, and Marie-Ange, 4.will be cared for by the couple's family at a secret Montreal location for security reasons, says their grandfather “Alexis and Marie-Ange were threatened with kid napping while in Paris,” said Gerard Lanctot, the father of Louise.“It is very important that the address of their home be kept secret so they don't become victims of a kidnapping, blackmail or intolerable pressures.” After meeting their lawyer Wednesday, the Cossette-Trudels were split up by police for questioning Det -Lieut.Andre Char-trand, head of the Montreal police anti-terrorist squad, told reporters the couple would be questioned on “everything from A to Z about the Cross

I P X representatives discuss the pros and cons of strategy to protest Bill 116.Grim-faced farmers vow to fight Bill 116 By CLAUDIA BOWERS RICHMOND Irate farmers, feed gram merchants, agricultural equipment distributors and pulpwood truckers from across the province have vowed to mob the Quebec legislature Monday to protest Bill 116, an act which the farmers say places them at the mercy of the Union des Producteurs Agricoles, the lawyer orchestrating the protest said last night Approximately 75 English farmers listened silent and grim faced at St.Francis Elementary School as lawyer Denis Paradis of Bedford read Bill 116 and explained its implications Paradis, accompanied by lawyer Guy Savoie of Sherbrooke and M Proulx of Richmond were invited to speak at the Richmond meeting in order to bring the English farmers up to date regarding Bill 116 and to suggest ways and means of protesting this bill Paradis explained that a recent Supreme Court ruling declared that the fees and penalties which farmers have been paying during the past four to five years are illegal For example, a farmer with an industrial milk quota, milking 30 cows, has had $12,000 to $15,000 deducted from his cheques during that period According to the ruling, he could conceivably sue the government for this money and refuse to pay more But Bill 116 would immediately change all that This proposed amend rnent to the Farm Products Marketing Act would validate all fees already taken as well as any future penalties, export fees or costs.This bill would also give a government agency - mainly the UPA the power to determine the time, place and condition of production of any agricultural product, the distribution of which is presently handled by a marketing board Paradis pointed out that the right of a farmer to choose what he produces is nearly the only freedom he has left Bill 116 would give the agency the right to cancel a quota and or levy fines before a breach of regulation “This would be the same as a policeman spotting you on a highway, seizing your car, selling it immediately and keeping the money because you have broken a traffic law,” Paradis said He quoted Chief Justice Duchesne of Montreal as saying that it was in conceivable in law that a man’s quota and therefore his livelihood could legally Ik* taken from him because he overproduced or had broken some regulation Section seven of the bill would validate all fees, costs and duties collected during the past three to four years “This amounts to nearly $200,000,(XX),” Paradis stated During a question period the Rich mond area English farmers directed some bitter queries at Dennis Keenan, president of the Richmond sector of the UPA and Cal Picken, UPA represen tativefrom the Bulwer area.Many felt the UPA is using some sleight of hand by not coming forward with any in formation whatsoever concerning Bill 116 It seemed to the assembled farmers that the UPA is seeking far too much fxiwer and control they expressed in no uncertain terms that although Bill 64 obliged every farmer in Quebec to sign a UPA membership and pay a $50 annual feel, they no longer wished to support the organization in any way, shape or form and were seeking ways to See FARMERS, Page It IA10NDC: TRANSPORTATION FIRMS WOULD Fill OTTAWA ( CP ) - Air Canada.Via Rail, Canadian National Railways and many other major transportation companies probably would move their head offices out of Quebec if the province separates from the rest of Canada, Justice Minister Marc Lalonde said Wed-nesdav “Quebec would be the losing partner.” said Lalonde, as he released a federal study on the effect Quebec independence would have on transportation, the latest in a series called Understanding Canada Lalonde said it would not be in the interests of Québécor the rest of Canada to throw up rail and road blockades in the event Quebecers vote to separate But.he asked, would com panies with major operations and markets outside the province keep their head offices “in a foreign country0” “Just raising the question is answering it.” The study notes that Montreal airports handle about half the country’s international air traffic each year If the province separates, “it is inevitable that much of this function would shift to airports elsewhere in Canada.” The study says the federal government has about $2.6 billion invested in transportation facilities in Quebec, about 35 per cent of a total $7 4 billion worth of transportation installments in the province “We are convinced that Quebecers would be the net losers and substantial net losers,” said Lalonde Leger’s book: Rideau Hall isu \ always dull, stuffy OTTAWA (CP) — Gov -Gen Jules Leger hopes to write a book in his forthcoming retirement io tell Canadians that life at Rideau Hall is not always a dull, stuffy affair But the former journalist and diplomat, who brought his special sense of humor to the official residence of the Queen’s representative, is meeting some resistance from his wife.Gaby “I want to convince her to write a book w ith me on the lighter side of life at Rideau Hall, but she is not yet con vinced.” the Governor-General said in a farewell interview “But I am very stubborn ” Quips and one-liners were the trademark of Gov-Gen Leger during his five-year stay at Rideau Hall.He was known to break up more than one official state dinner with his candid remarks And true to his non political role, each remark about “my boss,” Prime Minister Trudeau, was followed by one aimed at Progressive Conservative Leader Joe Clark The book, however, will not be his first project next month w hen Ed Schrever assumes the highest post in the country and Gov -Gen Leger begins what he terms a period of unemployment First, there w ill be a period of rest in the Leger’s Ottawa condominium from the rigors of travelling, speechmaking and entertaining royalty “I am behind in my dialogue with God.” the 65-year-old Governor-General says “I hope he w ill reply to me from time to time ” ADVISES PRUDENC E Gov -Gen Leger has five words of advice for his succès sor.the former New Democratic Party premier of Manitoba “Do your thing with prudence ” It is a motto he has practised since leaving the foreign service and important ambassadorial appointments to France and Italy to become Governor-General in Janu ary,1974 The native of the tiny Quebec village of St Anicet did the job the way he saw fit but never rocked the boat “I opened the doors to Rideau Hall to Canadian artists, for chamber music.” he says, alternating between French and English “I forced the government to buy C anadian paintings I think the house is more human than before and more open than before, more Canadian.” The works of C anadian artists line the walls of the rooms that before reflected more of the European heritage that first shaped Canada One such painting is a portrait by the famous Quebec artist Jean Paul Lemieux of the Governor General's brother.Paul-Emile Cardinal Leger.the Roman Catholic archbishop of Montreal who went to work with the poor and lepers in Africa In the classical sense, there is no Canadian culture.Gov Gen Leger says But in the contemporary sense, yes.in that we have an expression which is Canadian, French.English.American and this impact on the country is so great, it is a culture For example.I pray in French.I work in English part of the time and I dream about things American This is our culture today and more so in the future ” The current crisis between English and French-Canadians “could be a long one” but may lead to a better understanding between thi* two founding ethnic groups, he says Linguistic tensions are not the only problems facing the country “In (’anada we have at the moment a political crisis, an economic crisis, and a social crisis TIME WITH US “I think Canada is going through a social revolution but time is with us and we can meet the crisis ” Gov Gen Leger sees the role of the Queen’s representative evolving along with society.It currently has more responsibilities than at Confederation “The role of the governor general is changing all the time and the changes can be more rapid depending on the changes the government wishes to make to the Canadian constitution See LEGER.Page 14 i — Til K SHKKHKOOKK KK< OKI* — Till KS„ DEC .14, l»7K Canadian sateuite ready Ottawa won't

technology, beginning with Amk 1 in 1972.has brought a range of services in eluding television programs to viewers in remote areas such as Resolute Bay in the High Arctic and long distance telephone service across the country.Anik R is the fourth domestic satellite designed to replace two of the first three now floating in space and near the end of their anticipated six year service lives, explained John Campbell.Telesat’s public relations officer However, the satellite project will offer something special this time around because of an extra higher frequency band to allow extra communications operations And the communications department has already planned several special projects, including long distance university classes and health care, for Anik-B The other satellites send signals to receiving stations usually located about 40 miles outside the receiving city to avoid interference with other communications networks ( ampbell says, “The high frequency band means we can place stations right in the centre of a city without causing in terference.” OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government will not block the takeover of Simpsons Ltd by Hudson’s Bay Company Robert Bertrand, director of the federal bureau of com petition policy, said late Tuesday he has discontinued his two-week inquiry into the proposed merger The investigation into the $388 million offer was

New Brunswick Liberal Leader Joseph Daigle No one quarrels with Alberta’s transition to a “have’’ province, he said, but there is ‘reason to question such a huge concentration of wealth in one

prices OTTAWA (CP) — CP Air said Tuesday it plans to increase the number of its low cost scats for domestic air travel in 1979 but added that the service will have to pay for itself to be continued indefinitely G.E Manning, the company’s vice-president for mar keting.said (T Air met the consumer demand for cut-rate fares in 1978 a claim also made Monday by Air Canada, the other major trunk carrier Manning made his submission at the second day of hearings by the Canadian transport commission which could lead to easing restrictions on charter flights in Canada next year The federal government, the Consumers Association of Canada and others want advance bookings of the cheaper fares decreased to seven from 30 days and also want a reduction in the minimum stay to four days from seven The trade department believes that easier access to cut rate air fares w ill result in Canadians taking vacations at home, thus cutting down on the travel deficit However the CP Air submission said Canadians are adjusting to the conditions of cheaper air fares and they should remain untouched next year financial aid to small and medium-sized enterprises across Canada The only condition which a business must meet is inability to obtain financial assistance from a recognized lending institution Availability of funds elsewhere poses a block for the FBDB, Lavigeur added, and this causes its funding to be directed towards projects which present greater risk New businesses, firms which rent their premises, factory re-openings and new ownerships are situations that loan organizations would rather avoid Thirty-seven per cent of its financial aid in Quebec goes to the manufacturing sector and the remaining 63 per cent helps commerce, the restaurant and hotel businesses, service industries and others The tourism industry received a healthy 18 per cent of FBDB aid, for example.The bank’s predecessor was the Industrial Expan sion Bank which was formed in 1944 The FBDB orened its Sherbrooke branch on January l.1968; this represented one of its first moves to decentralize services away from its Montreal office.Out of $1 billion that the bank has invested since its inception in Quebec.$340 million is currently invested in the province This figure represents 22 per cent of the FBDB’s total loans In the Townships alone, the FBDB aids 405 businesses situated in Sherbrooke.Richmond.Frontenac, Stanstead.Wolfe and Compton counties.They collectively have borrowed a total of $25 million Among regional manufacturers and forestry industries, one in four is a FBDB client, while every tenth agricultural business receives assistance.Fifteen per cent of the Sherbrooke office’s staff are graduates of the Université de Sherbrooke’s commerce faculty The FBDB supplements other existing financial aid institutions such as Caisses d’entraide economique, the Ministry of Regional Economic Expansion, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Commerce.These sources grant loans, subsidies and loan guarantees There is also a law which protects small firms from biases of chartered banks Lavigeur said that the FBDB also subsidizes loans granted by other financial institutions, as well as those granted by provincial government institutions such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the SDI and the OPDQ Services other than monetary are also available from the bank These include information on federal aid.management training (through day-long seminars and various publications» and consultation services within the framework of CASE, a service provided and assured

points south of Sherbrooke, use it?Let’s hope that the government doesn’t stop with the completion of the long-awaited autoroute extension to Sherbrooke - hopefully the “approachless’’ overpass, just south of the Université de Sherbrooke, gets included in autoroute building plans as soon as possible.MATTHEW ELDER \ Washington Merry-Go-Round b> Jack Anderson and Les Whitten Marijuana could ease chemotherapy patients’ nausea WASHINGTON — Bureaucratic shillyshallying in the Food and Drug Administra tion has caused needless suffering among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy Violent nausea is one of the side effects of chemotherapy; marijuana can ease that nausea This means that cancer victims willing to break the law can ease their suf fering.but law-abiding patients must en sure the pain For chemotherapy patients in New Mexi co, the frustration is particularly galling, because the medical use of marijuana was approved by the state legislature last February But state officials so far have been unable to get the required okay from Food and Drug “The policy of the federal government is to encourage legitimate research into the effects of drugs such as marijuana,” the White House assured the state’s officials last spring.“Actions apparently contem plated in New Mexico would therefore par allel this policy .” Thus encouraged.New Mexico submitted a proposal for approval last July A month later.Food and Drug gave a tentative go-ahead to the plar.Then, without explana tion, the agency ordered New Mexico to re write its proposal State officials complied Footnote.Apparently as a result of our inquiry, Food and Drug officials abruptly ended several months of fence-sitting last week and approved the New Mexico request In a bitter complaint to Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph Cali-fano.New Mexico’s health administrator George Goldstein wrote: “During the delays caused by FDA every* one of the few approved applicants has died without receiving the drug.” Broken F>romise: Among our allies in World War II.none suffered more for their loyalty to the United States than the Filipino soldiers who fought side by side with American troops at Bataan and Corregidor, endured internment in prisoner-of-war camps and.in other cases, fought the Jap anese conquerors for three years as guer rillas After the war a grateful Congress passed a law that granted U S citizenship to any Filipino veteran who applied, and the Immigration Service opened an office in the Philippines to handle the expected wave of applicants But the Philippine government, newly independent after nearly half a century as an American possession, feared that hundreds of thousands of their country’s best and bravest would emigrate The immigration office was obliged to close without pro cessing any applications Time passed, and the law went unused until 1974.when 68 aging Filipino veterans filed suit and established their legal right to U S citizenship Any Filipino who could prove honorable service in World War II qualified, the court ruled The Justice Department grudgingly accepted the ruling as far as the 68 plaintiffs were concerned, but threw a curve at any other vets who might apply; They would have to prove they had tried to take advantage of the law and had been foiled by their government’s opposition This blatant disregard of the law* and the court was apparently caused by Justice Department officials' fear of a wave of Filipino immigrants But it is estimated that probably only 25.000 potential applicants are still alive, and no one know*s how many of these would want to come to the United States The Justice Department's stand has put us in the position of welshing on a debt to a relative handful of veterans, now growing old.who fought for the United States in one of its darkest hours They deserve better Questionable Move: In recent months the General Services Administration has been criticized for scandalously lax handling of federal property entrusted to its care Now there’s a complaint that GSA is hewing too strictly to the letter of an Administration directive The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's West Coast office, comprising some 60 staff members, has been happily ensconced for years in Walnut Creek, Calif., a bedroom community in the rolling hills east of San Francisco Bay.Two years ago, the commission requested additional office space for a staff expansion But by the time GSA processed the paperwork.space in the same building was gone Meanwhile.President Carter had ordered that federal offices be located in urban business districts to help revitalize the nation’s cities The commission was told to move to downtown San Francisco Employees protested to GSA.pointing out that San Francisco was hardly in need of revitalization; office space is so tight it will be late next year before the commission finds a new location there They also noted the needless expenditure of time, money and gasoline if employees are forced to join the Bay Area’s rush-hour commuter jams Their appeal is being ignored The whole point of the urban revitalization idea, a spokesman explained, is to see that more money is spent on “lunches, dinners and drinks” in the cities » I (MAM HAS SOME ENERGY PROBLEMS If you are seriously interested in the overall energy situation in Canada, you may well be a bit confused.Opinions range from outright optimism to hopeless gloom and doom.• As usual the truth lies some where in between.Canada has always been rich in energy resources.But it is true that our enormous and growing demand is beginning to outstrip available supply and oil imports are increasingly costly.At the same time.just the basic business of getting the energy from its source of supply, converting it to useable form and bringing it to when» it is needed costs more and more each year.And, of course, searching for and developing new resources is extremely costly.That, in the simplest possible terms, is Canada’s overall energy position.Now, still keeping to basics, here arc* short explanations of where we stand on specific energy resources.OIL-Ol ROWN AM) IMPORTED Oil, light now, is our most critical energy problem.We rely on it for 4ô% of our energy and the* available supply from Canada’s existing resources can no longer meet national demands.About one-third of the oil we use is imported.It is increasingly costly and there is always a risk of having it reduced in an emergency.OTHER ENERCÎY SOURCES In 1977, the gross amount that went out of Canada as a result of buying foreign oil was 3 billion dollars-that’s S480 per family per year.Increasing world demand on foreign oil sources could mean that, in future, they will be unable to produce enough oil to meet world demand.Canada can’t afford to become over-dependent on foreign oil.We have* given a commitment to hold imports in 1980 to one-third of our oil demand, or 800,000 barrels a day.whichever is.less.If we do not conserve what we have, and develop our own resources or find alternative supplies, we will be in an increasingly high-risk position.We *• ?¦«»« .* * tlni use* of wood and organic mate* rials to produce energy.Bacteria that work on organic materials pro duce a gas that, when collected, can be use*d as a sou ret* of energy, or the biomass can simply la* hurra'd as fuel.The* possibilities are extensive, especially in forestry.Research on improved methods of collecting and convert ing the biomass is nexvssary in order to expand its role as a fuel source.But it may contribute as much as 7% of our total energy within a decade A new federal program will assist forest industry* firms to convert their plants to use forest wastes as fuel.SOLAR ENERGY Solar energy offers possibilities for widespread ust* across Canada However, introduction of solar technology will be a gradual pro cess.It will not transform the energy* situation overnight.Popular enthusiasm for solar heating often tends to outrun current technical and economic realities.There's still a lot of industrial development and testing to be done to improve the efficiency ami decrease the cost of solar, home heating.There’s also a need for laws to protect the owner of a solar heated house against assessment practice's or shade which could render his solar investment uneconomic.A now federal program w ill encourage establishment of a strong Canadian solar equipment manufacturing industry.Between 1978 and 1983, the federal government w ill purchase* substantial amounts of Canadian solar equipment for federal buildings under a program know n as PUSH.(Purchase and Use* e>f Solar Heating.) Solar cells can capture' and convert sunlight into electricity as we* saw in the* operation of spacecraft.At the* moment, howe*ve*r, the cost of seilar electricity would be* far highe*r than hydro electricity.OTHER RENEWABLE SOI Re ES T he* wind and the* tiele*s are two old-fashioned but appealing potential se>urce»s of e*ne*rgy.Winelmills were in use* hundreds of years ago.Mexlem winelmills.some of ne>ve*l te* areas w ith high prevailing winds.In the* Maritime»s,energy fmm the* Bay e>f Fundy tieie*s may, in the fore*se*e*able* future*, be* developed for the* region.This could

of tlle'se'and otheT removable* ene'rgy forms.VOI R PARTIN ANSWERING THE ENER(JY PROBLEM Knergy seniority ele*peiuls on all of us.If 23 million Canadians each do the*ir part to lu*lp conse'm* the*

ïvse»urces such as the* heavy oils and oil sands.While* the* oil sands deposits art* huge*, the* available* supply is small.Oil has tei be separated from sand in huge* plants.The newly-opened Syncrude plant ce»st over 2 billion dollars, yet will supply only 7 percent of Canada’s daily oil requirements.Further de»\vlop-me*nt will be* slow and costly.Exploration for oil in the Arctic and either frontier regions is also expensive*.And if major oil finds are* made* there' the* costs of production will be* high.As you are* aware*, the* prices of oil are* higher now.And that’s been a ne'cessary change* te> assure* that the* more expensive* oil source's can be developed.These projects, such as the* Syncrude plant, wouldn’t be* possible without the* higher prices authorized by federal anil provincial governments.NATURAL HAS Natural gas accounts for 18° oof Canada’s total energy consumption.Recent exploration successes in Western Canada and the* Arctic Islands have resulted in a brighter outlook for gas than for oil.In faet, natural gas may be* vital as a replacement fuel for oil.However, in some* places in Canada, gas is neit readily available as a fuel.Pipelines will have* to lie* extended to service these markets.More high-cost exploration is still nece*ssary.Development of these frontier resources will be* extremely difficult and costly.We* should seek opportunities te» improve gas transportation systems, including an extension of the* natural gas pipeline east of Montreal.ELEUTRÏOTŸ Electricity is a versatile* premium energy, particularly suitable* for high-performance work such as lightingand driving motors.In Canada today, water generated power supplies more than 70 per cent of our electricity, or about 11 of our total energy.The great advantage of hydro power is that it is a renewable source of energy.However, many suitable hydro site's in Canada have* already been developed or are too remote.* to be developed economically.Thermal generation supplies the* other 30% of our electricity but burning fossil fuels for electricity creates a large energy waste factor.So.in the future, as the country’s electrical demands continue to grow, hydro power will account for a progressively smaller portion of the total and more electricity will come* from such sources as coal, nuclear energy and forest wastes.But conserving electricity helps save dollars for the individual as well as the countrv.NUCLEAR POW ER ('anaela has ilesigne'el and built the* we»rlel-fame»us CANDI’ nuclear po\ve*r reactors for elevtricity, and has substantial uranium ele'posits for the*m.These* CANDI reactors are base*d on a Canadian concept which use's natural uranium as the* fuel while heavy w ater moele*rate*s the* fission proce'ss.An advantage* e»f nuclear powvr is that it would take* le*ss than 27)0 grams (about pound) of uranium to prexluce* enough e'le'ctricity for the* average» Canadian house'hold for one* year.At pre*se*nt, nuclear powvr eontribute's about 2% of our total e*nergy, but about 27% of the* electricity consume*! in Ontario.While* nuclear plants recuire* a very large* initial investment, the*ir delivt*re*d energy costs are* competitive* with othe»r ene'rgy source's.The 10 te» 12 year lead time* for planning and construction is similar with that for fossil e*le*ctric plants.Howvwr.the* potential of nuclear powvr, as with othe*r ene'rgy sources, must be balanced against the* social, eronomic and cnvironme*ntal impacts of its generation.C ( AN AI H AN ( 'OAU Canada has abundant coal de posits.moM of which are* found in the* We*st and the Maritime* provinces.Major markets are* in (Vntral Canada, however, and this me*ans high transportation costs.At the* present time*coal supplie*s about 9% of total tnt*rgy demands in

a meaningful devotional period She read the Christmas story from St Mark’s Gospel, the story of the first Christmas card which was designed and sent by Sir Henry Cole in 1846 She read the legend of the Christmas Rose and the Tree and a few beautiful poems by-Walt Huntley She closed devotions with a beautiful prayer The minutes of the October meeting were read followed by the treasurer's report The proceeds of the Christmas Sale and Tea were most gratifying Correspondence was read which contained a thank you from the Popes for their anniversary flowers and from the Sunday School for the money donated to their work.Plans were made for Christmas cheer plants and goodies.Mrs.L Piercy volunteered to look after getting these this year The members are asked to have baked goodies to Flora

The leader.May Doherty presided and the minutes of Pet Talk by Nicole Lacharite Whatever reasons people might have t* get a dog.*he fundamental one is need of a loyal companion.The dog will bring satisfaction to its master, but in return, the owner has to accept obligations towards his pet He has to feed it, train it and exercise it.In short, he must care for it.and the amount of care necessary will vary, depending on the type and breed.He should not acquire a dog on the spur of the moment.After all.he will love and look after his dog for 10 to 15 years.What kind of life will you offer your dog?Do you have plenty of space, or are you living in a three-room apartment?In the last case, don’t get a Great Dane - get a somewhat smaller dog.Space available is also important regarding the exercise your dog will require Hounds need to run regularly to stay in good physical condition Another factor which should guide you in your choice between a big or small dog is the cost of feeding - St.Bernards eat much more than chihuahuas.If you have young children, do not take a small fragile dog, as it could very easily get hurt, just as a big dog can hurt small children playing with them Will it be a dog with long hair or short hair?This should be considered, since long-haired dogs need to be brushed and combed everyday while others, like poodles, need to be clipped regularly.All factors considered, what breed should you choose?You should decide first if you want a pure bred or a mongrel The main advantage of a pure bred is that you know all its characteristics in advance But it’s also more expensive.In choosing the breed, consider what you want from a dog and study the different breeds.Some breeds are quiet, some are playfull and others are aggressive.If you choose a mongrel, try to learn as much as possible about its parents and grandparents, their size, temperament, type of hair and so forth.If you want a dog for a specific reason like hunting, be choosy about it.it’s worth it How old should a puppy be before you pick it up?The best age is between seven and 10 weeks old Before seven weeks, the puppy is not ready to leave its mother and it couid mark him both psychologically and physically.Between 10 and 15 weeks, the puppy is discovering the world around him and.being hypersensitive, a big change could cause psychological shock After four months, he might not get attached to you as much as you would like » A dog eight or 10 months old is practically an adult and you will have more difficulties getting him used to your life-style The most important thing is to make sure of your dog’s health Do not be afraid to ask for a health certificate or to have him examined by a veterinarian, inquire if the dog has been inoculated and when he should get further inoculations Above all.do not take the dog because it looks sick and pitiful, you will regret it bitterly Where should you look for a dog?If you want a purebred dog.go to a specialised breeder He knows more about his breed and how to care for it, than anyone else The Canadian Kennel Club makes available a list of breeders, or you can ask your local kennel club You can also attend dog shows where you will meet breeders Your veterinarian usually knows various breeders and can recommend them One should be very careful 1 about pet shops and large kennels where you’ll find many breeds Some of them have a good reputation, but others are far from acceptable If you feel generous and don't want a purebred dog.you can get one from your local SFCA in return for a small donation Take your time before you choose a dog.Get as much information as possible Get in contact with your local kennel club in Sherbrooke.Le Club Canin de L’estrie in care of Nicole Lacharite.phone 569-2862 And whatever dog you get.love him and care for him - he’ll return this affection to you and your family —g»»—*»»****»»#»»»**#*# the previous meeting were read by Beverley Page in the absence

vigorously defend this matter,’’ Thorpe told the magistrates Their decision has grave implications for the Liberals, a small party that the charismatic Thorpe strove to build into a genuine political force.Medicare cards QUEBEC (CP) — A cabinet document says the provincial government will propose that Quebecers present their health insurance cards when they vote in future, rather than specially-issued voter identification cards which have also been under study.A copy of the document, dated May 3,1978, was obtained Wednesday by The Canadian Press The document also says the right to vote will be extended to prisoners, and that special provisions will be made to make it easier for hospitalized or mentally ill people to vote Leger Continued from page 1 “For me, the role of the governor general and the role of the Queen can be complementary for many years to come, maybe for a generation After that, l cannot say ” The real powers of the governor-general are exercised only in times of emergency, such as when a minority government collapses The governor general may then appoint a prime minister Usually, the governor general maintains a largely ceremonial role Former governor general Roland Michener noted recently that he was described as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces “but they never took any of my orders.” The influence a governor general has upon the country is heavily determined by the temperament of the person holding that office Gov-Gen.Leger illustrates his point by comparing Schreyer.42, with himself SEES A CONTRAST Schreyer.who received his first official tour of Rideau Hall this week, is younger, a political idealist and a socialist, Leger notes “I’m old.not socialist, well, maybe a bit.and, therefore, you realize the contrast betw een the two men is great and.therefore, you have to conclude the role of the governor-general is changing today in this house.” Gov -Gen Leger says he believes part of his job is to speak on important social and cultural issues with which he is familiar But prudence again is the key “For example, my successor can speak of the West with great authority This is good for the country.” Being a former journalist at the Ottawa French-language daily newspaper, Le Droit, Gov.-Gen.Leger occasionally challenged reporters to ponder the impact of their work News organizations should take part in a search for “the path of light and help others to find it,” he told the annual dinner of The Canadian Press in Toronto in May, 1974 A month later.Gov -Gen Leger met the toughest challenge of his life when he suffered a serious stroke at Sherbrooke, Que The illness damaged his speech and resulted in a paralysis of one arm RETURNED TO WORK Six months later, after a holiday at Palm Beach, Fla , he was back at work His traditonal New Year message for 1975 had a special poignancy “These long months have brought mé close to those w ho suffer I wish them well on the way to recovery They should not despair ” The resulting speech handicap meant his wife, the daughter of a Montreal motor executive whom he met while attending the Sorbonne in Paris, frequently became his public mouthpiece "Mme Leger met with gusto the challenge at Rideau Hall and she helped me greatly in my difficulty after my attack,’’ Gov.-Gen Leger reminisces “And 1 am very fond of her.” “The job of the wife of the governor-general is very important but oddly enough the studies that Mme Leger went through, mostly in Paris, helped her a great deal at Rideau Hall “Such studies, three years of cooking lessons and three years of arts lectures, helped her acquire a knowledge essential to the job.” Farmers C ontinued from page 1.eliminate it or at least introduce some drastic reform Mr Picken replied that although perhaps he personified the UPA to the assembled farmers, “I’m as much against this bill as you are ” “I’ll be on a bus to Quebec City Monday morning,” he stated, “this bill is like a hand on the farmer’s throat and every farmer in the province should be deeply disturbed and ready and willing to stand up and be counted ” Meetings to arrange a protest demonstration in Quebec City are be ing held all over the province, with feed grain merchants, agricultural equipment distributors, pulpwood truckers and other related industries vowing to join the farmers of Quebec The Richmond and surrounding area farmers will have a bus leaving Richmond Monday morning December 18 at 8 a m and returning about 5 p m Ahyone seeking any more information should call Douglas Beard at 819-848 2651 or Fran Hodge 819-826-3218 Paradis reported that as of last evening around 5pm they had 500 trucks pledged to appear in Quebec He suggested all concerned farmers should send written protests to Jean Garon, Minister of Agriculture, and to their members of the national assembly “This Bill appears to me like a blueprint for a communist or socialist-type of assimilation of the rights and liberties of the individual, in this case, the Quebec farmer We must stop its passage through the National Assembly and we must do it together Monday at Quebec City.” he added Card of Thanks McKEE — l wish to thank all those who
