In pubs and bars throughout California, the Molson brand of beer is quenching thirsts by the thousands About 75,000 gallons of the Canadian-made brew go down the gullets of California beer buyers every month and sales are expected to double in the next few years “We think we’ll be the No.2 imported beer in California in a year.” John Winter, general manager of the Martlet Importing Co Inc .said in an interview “We’re already No.2 nationally.” The most popular imported beer in California — and across the U S.— is Heineken.produced in the Netherlands Winter believes Heineken sales reached a million barrels, or 25 million gallons, in the U S last year Martlet, owned ultimately by The Molson Companies Ltd of Montreal, expects Molson imports to reach the million-barrel milestone in the 1979-80 fiscal year Molson U S sales in 1978- 79 were 19 million gallons, up from 13 million gallons the previous year NAME CHANGED Molson products sold in California are Golden Ale and the brand known in Canada as Export Ale But since the Export is an imported ale here, it is sold in the U S under the name Molson Ale Disco deaths agencies have made large sums of money, otherwise they would abandon this business.I am convinced, Mr Minister, that some people have paid more for a lesser crime, for example a false declaration of income.Would it not be in the public interest, Mr Minister, that you reveal the number of establishments which have lost their commercial license for having engaged minors or having given those under the age of 18 access to forbidden places?It is necessary to drain the source of income of those who prey on the young because money is their only motivation.The police interviewed on “Femme d aujourd’hui” asked the public to inform them if they believe a young woman to be in danger.This form of exploitation is practiced openly, Mr.Minister, and is at times reinforced by publicity.Surely it is not announced that dié llUUc dancers ale tiui the police have eyes like everyone else to see, and they know the establishments; some frequent them regularly.Some people in your ministry have told me that “the police have more than that to do." that is to say, to protect minors.I do believe that.Mr Minister.Perhaps you could, therefore, advise the Surete du Quebec to withdraw from infiltrating syndicates in order to leave time to protect the children.A policeman has also declared the following: “The agencies are there because it is lucrative.They fill the demands of the tavernkeepers who in turn fill the demands of the clients.Society as it is loves to see nude women, and younger and younger nude women!” I do not think, Mr.Minister, that women who compose 52 per cent of said society manifest such taste* I suppose when speaking of society, the policeman had in mind only a part of the masculine gender Because to my knowledge, not all men encourage the exploitation of adolescents and women by frequenting these places.Has your ministry a threshold this side of which it proves itself tolerant?Is it waiting for this business to sell 10,000 women rather than 4,000, of which 25 per cent are minors instead of 10 per cent in order to lead a general and public inquest0 I would point out, Mr Minister, that the 1970 October Crisis had one victim, while the business of women and children has had “officially” twenty victims in a year and a half in Montreal alone And the October Crisis is the object of a costly inquest I am sure.Mr Minister, that you do not personnally tolerate such a situation.But you have responsibilities toward Quebec society and to not take Draconian measures to correct this situation conies uack to tüieiaülig it.Laws are not engraved in concrete; we have seen this in other areas.If they are inadequate to the point of favoring the exploitation of children and women - as is presently the case - then we change them.And there is no need to make a five-year study to change the laws I recognize, Mr Minister, that women's groups who boast of working for the furtherance of women and the protection of children appear discreet on this subject.I do not concede that in their several year of existence that they are not concerned by such a visible problem, but rather that they do not want to see it Perhaps these groups have been dependent upon the state for the protection of women and children in the same wav it protects the public from other crimes.They are learning, at their expense, in this area as in so many others, that the State does not Continued from page 4 consider women and children “ordinary" citizens I also deplore.Mr Minister, that parliamentarians of both sides of the National Assembly prefer political games and trifles to the defense of the elementary rights of persons If the elected reflect society in general, they render a sad image of this society Finally, Mr Minister.I have heard said that your services are organizing a conference on violence for the fall The sum invested in two or three days of meetings causes me to believe that the specialists attending will not be satisfied to simply stroke the bellies of their colleagues nor of informal discussions on violence Will they have the courage to approach frankly the case of adolescents and women who are the victims of the ravages of pornography in all its forms?Will they dare to deal in depth with the subject of battered wives, rape victims, and violent pornography?Will your ministry follow with a campaign of information against violence or will it prefer to hide it all under a bushel0 Will you invite to this conference Dr Denis Lazure in order that he understand the necessity of financing centers to aid the victims of rape, and houses which shelter battered wives, which are now assuming the incumbent responsibilities of the Ministry of Social Affairs?This conference will show us, Mr Minister, the veritable will of your government to struggle against violence, to understand that which is practiced daily against women and children It will be very instructive for Quebec women in quest of equality and independence and similarly for the children for whom we have consecrated a year MIC HELINE C ARRIER FRENCH SUMMER PROGRAM "79" TOTAL IMMERSION August 10-24 Be a participant in our fifth summer two-week live-in IMMERSION FRENCH PROGRAM.You will receive ninety (90) hours of language instruction and fifteen (15) hours of para-pedagogical activities from an excellent team of teachers.A placement test will be given in order to form small (10-15 students) homogeneous classes.A teacher and a monitor are assigned to each class.The total cost of the course is $380.00 including room and board, the use of sports facilities and cultural activities.The course is given in Sherbrooke, the heart of the beautiful Eastern Townships, approximately 160 KM southeast of Montreal.Improve your knowledge of French.Plan now to be with us in August.For further information, contact: DOUGLAS GRANT Eastern Townships Regional School Board 257 Queen Street, Lennoxville, P.Q.JIM 2A5 Telephone: 819-569-9468 Both varieties are sold in long-necked, non-returnable green bottles rather than the squat, brown deposit bottles in Canada A six-pack costs about $3 50.less than some other imported beers but more than the domestic ones Martlet, which began importing the Molson beer to nine states in 1971, now sells operation By the end of five years.Winter hopes to record an over all profit Winter, whose family lives in St John’s, Nfld, says taste is a key factor in the rapid growth of the imported beer market in this country “I find the American product tends to bo getting lighter,” he explains beer rather than a domestic one Moison s Ex a beer w ith snob appeal?“In some places, ap pa rent ly, yes it's very popular in some eastern college towns, for example In some, we even outsell Schliti Winter says that selling beer in California and other C S markets is “a sheer delight” compared with Canada The beer is sold here in grocery and convenience stores In addition, Americans are much more relaxed in their attitude toward the brew: “They don’t seem to have that ‘booze is evil’ thing you find in Canada.” in 24 states and expects to “Imports such as the expand to 40 states in two Canadian beer offer more years, Winter says.flavor and body.” The California branch is He adds there also is a cer expected to turn its first tain kind of snob appeal in profit this year, its third in volved in buying an imported RECORD CARRIER WANTED RT.16, 17— Denault.St Jean, Ypres, Cherbourg.Rt.16A — Gauvin St.Esprit, Leonard, Verdun, Bachand MAGOG Hatley St W Bullard Bellevue, Tarrant.Apply to MICHEL DENIS ROOFING REGISTERED Specialty -
